Abstract
Sustainable construction efforts in some countries have been unsuccessful due to numerous barriers to its successful implementation. This research aims to identify the barriers to successful implementation of sustainable construction in Phnom Penh, Cambodia construction industry. To identify the barriers, a qualitative research approach using in-depth interviews was carried out with purposively selected 18 experts involved in the sustainable construction project, including engineers, architects, contractor, quantity surveyor, and project manager. Indicative findings arising from the study revealed that there are 23 barriers specific to the three selected case-study projects in Cambodia Construction Industry. Those barriers are categorized into five themes of barriers such as financial barriers, governmental barriers, technical barriers, culture and market barriers, and new barriers specified to the case studies. The result of this paper would enable the Cambodia Construction industry to be successful in its pursuit of implementing sustainable construction as well as the information based on which barriers needed to be solved for future research.
