چکیده :

The building industry, which is essential to both social and economic advancement, must change in order to become more sustainable. This review delves into the complex relationship that exists between construction contracts and sustainability. The sector's economic importance—it accounts for 10% of the EU's total added value—underlines how urgent it is to match business practices with social and environmental responsibility. The essay covers the theoretical underpinnings while highlighting the importance of contracts in accomplishing sustainable building objectives. It reveals the intricacies of legal factors in contracts for sustainable building, from regulation compliance to dispute resolution procedures. The incorporation of sustainability into contracts is examined from the perspectives of legal standard adaptation, clause writing accuracy, and commitment enforceability. The essay also closely examines the ways in which contracts ensure adherence to environmental laws, reduce their negative effects on the environment, and promote green building techniques. Finally, it looks at possible directions for further study and advancement in this developing discipline. This thorough analysis frames sustainable building contracts as dynamic frameworks that steer projects toward morally and environmentally sound behaviors, rather than just as legal documents. The contract appears as a pillar for coordinating building projects with contemporary environmental laws and standards, bringing in a more sustainable and greener future, as players negotiate this challenging terrain.
