Abstract

From a lean construction perspective, the role of a Public Roads Administration is to identify the value from the client’s point of view and define the processes able to develop the value stream. In the long-run strategy, the public role is to be sustainable and apply the sustainability principle in the management of the portfolio of projects under the administration's control. This implies the development of a performance measurement system for sustainability. The case of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration is presented and analysed in the paper, as an example of an actor working on performance measurement for sustainability. The purpose is to evaluate the state of the art and use document study and literature to propose improvements. The research questions addressed in the paper are how sustainability is measured today for the construction portfolio in the Norwegian Public Road Administration and what are the pros and cons of the actual method (for measuring sustainability today). The proposal for improvements is made by comparing the state of the art with performance measurement theory.

Keywords
