Abstract

The summary covers studies on the role of quantity surveyors in Malaysia's sustainable building industry. This research emphasizes the growing relevance of sustainable construction approaches in achieving Zero Net Carbon (ZNC) buildings. The backdrop discusses the issues that quantity surveyors encounter when incorporating sustainability into construction, such as inadequate information, insufficient cost databases, and surveyors' expanding roles. The study's goal is to look into these issues, investigate surveyors' contributions to sustainability, and analyse the link between their obstacles and contributions. A quantitative approach was taken, with data collected using surveys and evaluated using SPSS. The findings show that, while quantity surveyors play an important role in cost control and sustainable material selection, their efficacy is restricted by knowledge and resource constraints. Strategies for increasing participation include improving professional education and collaborating with stakeholders. The report indicates that solving these challenges is critical to improving sustainable construction in Malaysia.
