2. Literature Review
2.1 Pillars of Sustainable concept
Nowadays, many consequences from environmental demolition occur inform of
1.global warming 2.natural disaster 3.non-renewable resources 4.destruction of
ecology and biodiversity. From the foregoing, processes that reduce
environmental demolition and practice of sustainable construction were
increasingly applied in construction phase due to impact of environment concern.
The adapting of practice sustainable construction must balance environmental
protection and development of construction, show in Fig 1.

From all above, Level of attention in each table are different example the redesign in Table 3 is more famous compare to Table 1 and Table 2, it can be
concluded that people pay attention to the re-design process because re-design
process encourage sustainable construction concept.
From above information, it could be seen that adapting of sustainable concept
are widespread because it gives many benefit in environmental protection social
well-being and economic prosperity. Research of peoples aspect emphasize
workers perception level of attention and obstacle for improve adaptings
efficiency. The information from the research could be part of process of the
practice of sustainable construction development.
3. Process
This exploring current practice of sustainable construction in Thailand could
evaluate level of adapting sustainable construction concept during construction
phase by exploring and conduct sustainable process in construction phase to
evaluate level of current practice. We conduct information of practice via
interviewing experienced project engineer. The questions were designed
appropriately and interpolate them into procedures of construction phase. For
overview he process, the exploring current practice of sustainable construction in
construction projects of Thailand has processes as follows.
3.1. Researchs processes
Step1: Research foreign literature reviews about practice of sustainable
construction during construction phase.
Step2: Design questions for interviewing experienced project engineers.
Step3: Interview project engineers

6. Conclusion
The evaluation could classify characteristic of adapting sustainable concept into
different level depending on size of company budget and experiences of workers.
However, the criterion of this research could measure the level of sustainable
current practices in construction phase and be a guidance to develop and bring
up the level of adapting sustainable concept .
