Abstract:
Business as usual (BAU) model of infrastructure delivery is contrary to the needs of sustainability in the built environment. This difference necessitates a South African study that is focus on sustainability in the infrastructure sector. A review of the management corpus led to the discovery and review of a transformation process model, which was thereafter integrated with core lean and sustainability principles. Through the analysis and synthesis of collected data from a case study design approach, it was discovered that a transformation model could serve as a purposive vehicle for embedding sustainability in the delivery of infrastructure projects in South Africa. However, confirmatory evaluation of the proposed model is required to ascertain its applicability in the sector.
