“…These selection criteria are inequitably challenged by various issues during design, construction, transportation, installation and operation (Rashid et al , 2016). In the context of Sri Lanka, a number of studies have been carried out with regard to procurement methods and their efficacious use in challenging contexts (Rubasinghe et al ., 2019; Dabarera et al ., 2019). The procurement methods discussed in these studies mainly fall under traditional measure and pay, design and built, turnkey and public-private partnerships.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to select a suitable procurement method for steel building construction in Sri Lanka following a systematic method which weigh, both procurement selection factors and existing procurement systems.Design/methodology/approachAn abductive research stance is followed in this empirical study. Procurement selection factors were selected through a critical literature review which was followed by a quantitative questionnaire survey. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistical analysis and relative important index.FindingsThe critical literature review outlined 46 procurement selection factors, out of which 26 factors were very important in steel building procurement selection. Short construction period and higher constructability of design are ranked at the top with the highest priority rating factors. Management-oriented procurement system was selected as the most appropriate procurement system for steel building constructions within the Sri Lankan context.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to widely use three procurement systems in Sri Lankan construction industry. Yet, the process followed in selecting the most appropriate procurement system could be applied for other contexts. The implications of the study are mainly identifying management-oriented procurement as the most suitable procurement method for steel building construction in Sri Lanka.Practical implicationsThe systematic procedure of procurement method selection for steel building construction may use in the Sri Lankan construction industry to limit the resource loss due to wrong selection of procurement.Originality/valueA study which critically and comprehensively presenting a procurement selection process for steel building construction is not recorded in Sri Lanka prior to this study.

“…Construction procurement has expanded over the years as separated, integrated, and managementoriented (Masterman and Masterman, 2013), which is later on classified as traditional, design and build (D&B), management related, and collaborative (Jaafar and Nuruddin, 2012;Rahmani, et al, 2017). Among the variety of available construction procurement systems, D&B is the widely used procurement method to ascertain sustainable construction requirements Rubasinghe et al, 2019). It is an effective project delivery method, that is practised with a single entity for both the design and construction phases of a project (Xia and Chan, 2012).…”

Despite of design and build (D&B) procurement being a feasible solution, the status of the implementation of sustainable construction practices (SCP) in the Sri Lankan construction industry is below the trend. Since unwillingness and unawareness of the D&B contractors have identified as a cause for the issue, strategies to overcome the problem are required. Accordingly, an extensive literature review was conducted to identify the SCP, and D&B concepts to provide a basis for a reliable set of strategies. Subsequently, the survey strategy under the qualitative research approach was accompanied to derive strategies. Accordingly, collected data from nine expert interviews from the purposively selected clients, contractors, consultants, and subcontractors have been analysed using deductive thematic analysis under eight main pre-defined themes. Appointment of a sustainability manager, market survey to recognise the status of sustainability, concern on passive construction technologies and identification of sustainable design requirements have identified as key strategies. Finally, this can be used by D&B contractors to identify the loopholes and enhance sustainable development
