of buildings have on the environment and society. The construction industry and governments have a central role
in driving the sustainable development agenda. Good sustainable design can deliver buildings with low running
costs-an attribute that is highly attractive to both the society and businesses. The aim of this paper was therefore
to examine the integration of sustainability principles into construction projects. The review provided key evidence
of the link between sustainability and better project performance, through the integration of sustainability principles.
In addition, it proposed a sustainable framework for better construction project, based on the philosophies of
sustainable construction
