Abstract

The construction industry not only has significant impact to Indonesian’s economic development but also to social and environment matters. Sustainable construction is the key to minimize current and future environment and social impact. This paper reports the results of a study about the correlation of sustainable construction (SC) awareness and intentions to implement sustainable construction in one of  Indonesian state-owned company. This  entails  identifying  the  current  status  of  SC  practices,  the  awareness  level  of   construction  teams,  the  intentions to implement SC,  as  well   as  barriers  to  Implement SC.  After comprehensive  reviewing  the  literature,  the  data  is  conducted  and   collected  through  quantitative  approach  through questionnaires  survey using random sampling techniques. Authors targeted 262 construction teams associated with the  Indonesian state-owned construction company  as the  population  and get the feedback as 266  completed  questionnaires  were  received. The  data  then  analyzed  through  descriptive analysis and Partial Least Square analysis using SmartPLS version 3.9.0. The main findings of  this research are as follows: awareness level of SC in Indonesian state-owned construction company  is moderate level, and the intention to implement SC is high; awareness has no significant effect for intention to implement SC , So that Indonesian Government should need more  campaign  and  strategies  to  improve  and  encourage  this  concept;  in order to be applied efficiently  in future projects, it’s because material, competence, cost, and time were found to be the main barrier to  implement SC on this study.
