Abstract
The paper identifies the broad environmental issues and legislation affecting the construction industry in the UK and goes on to place the environment firmly on the construction agenda, highlighting the major issues for concern. This paper summarizes work undertaken in five pilot studies. The work reveals that the consideration of environmental issues within a framework related to the construction process facilitates the allocation of management responsibility within the construction team. The illustrative representation of this framework forms a prototype decision‐making strategy for use in construction procurement and methods for incorporating environmental issues into every day construction management are proposed.
