Abstract: Abstractustainability on construction sites and its impacts on the environment have become increasingly relevant. Large quantities of materials, water and energy, among other resources of various types and origins, are consumed on construction sites during the production activities and by the temporary facilities. This paper aims at presenting a set of criteria for the adoption of sustainable management practices on construction sites aiming at mitigating environmental impacts produced during the construction … Show more

“…In most of the bases, the consumption of water and energy are not quantified per service and are often considered as simple expenses linked to administrative activities. The lack of quantification of water and energy consumption makes it difficult not only to estimate the demand for these resources, but also makes it unfeasible to use control tools such as the ABC curve to analyze the total consumption [82,83], or the S curve to study their consumption over time [84].…”

“…Legal and political assessment comprising, errors in the contract documents, legal terms and procedural landscape, improper documentation, lack of records, loss of revenue by the state, undefined bureaucracy and corruption in the construction sector [25][26][27][28][29]. Environmental impact, such as natural resources management, noise pollution, air pollution, health plans development, and ecosystems [30][31][32]. From the above selected literature review, significant importance has been presented on the identification of the critical causes of delays in the construction sector.…”

“…Gangolells et al (2014) analyzed the implementation of the waste management practices in the construction process, adopted by construction companies and other stakeholders in the sector during the design, planning, and execution phases. Thomas and Costa (2017) established a set of criteria pertaining to the adoption of sustainable management practices in construction sites to mitigate the environmental impacts corresponding to the construction phase. Almeida, Costa and Alberte (2020) developed a system of indicators for sustainable management in construction sites (SIGS), composed of 26 indicators that covered the environmental, social, and economic dimensions.…”
