AB  - This paper suggests the challenges of sustainable development to be considered in the life cycle process of buildings. Sustainable development concepts are presented featuring social, ecological, cultural and environmental facets. Examples of sustainable construction practices from different countries are described. The potential and profitability of lean principles to promote sustainable construction is raised for discussion. As an example of related development, a requirements framework, is presented.
