<div>With growing concerns for the environment due to the effects of climate change, there has been a focus on the way construction activities are being carried out; especially in the use of energy and resources.</div><div>Implementation of sustainable construction in the lifecycle of any construction project, particularly during the construction phase, would reduce the effects of climate change and damage done to the environment.
