Sustainable Building Project Management in Algeria: Challenges, Strategies, and Future Directions for Environmentally Friendly Construction

Abstract

The effective integration of green project management practices is crucial for promoting sustainable construction in Algeria while ensuring cost efficiency. This study proposes a structured framework to modify traditional project management approaches throughout the project life cycle, focusing on early interdisciplinary collaboration, integrated design, and continuous training. Key barriers to implementation include limited awareness, high costs, and inadequate government support, all of which hinder the widespread adoption of sustainable practices. The findings reveal inconsistencies in the application of green construction methods, emphasizing the need for robust policy incentives, financial support, and active community participation. Additionally, the study highlights the urgency of educational initiatives to bridge knowledge gaps and advocates for incorporating sustainability into urban planning. Addressing these challenges will enable Algeria to advance its sustainable construction sector, positioning it as a model for other developing nations seeking to balance economic growth with environmental responsibility.
