The assessment is carried out to determine the level of significance and degree of impact of supply chain management (SCM) and sustainability on the construction industry's performance. The results derived from the test show that SCM has a moderate impact leading to leading to increased performance. The lack of time and budget limited the focus to Karachi-based construction businesses, leaving other construction businesses in Pakistan as not relevant.
