sustainable development may exist in parallel; the main dominant thrust is sustainability. A firm can
sustain itself of it wholly adopts the concept of sustainable development; whilst maintaining its
relevance in the industry it is operating. The objective of this paper is to analyze the frameworks,
concepts and approaches of sustainability of construction firms that are embedded in social,

understanding sustainability of constriction firms. |
