Design/Methodology/Approach: This research utilises a qualitative research approach, a case study. It relies on a comprehensive review of the literature of relevant journals in construction management to generate the findings of the study. Findings: This research found that individual, organisational and project-specific variables prevent the implementation of green practices in the Saudi construction industry. Lack of awareness, training with respect to lean construction, and a dearth of top management support to the adoption and implementation of lean construction have all slowed down the penetration of lean construction into the construction industry in Saudi Arabia.Lean ConstructionSustainable DevelopmentConstruction IndustryLean Delivery SystemsGulf Cooperation Council (GCC)Article
