GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
SCOPE
Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) is the first performance-based rating system
in the MENA region. The primary objective of GSAS is to create a sustainable built environment,
considering the specific needs and context of the region.
The objective of GSAS-Construction Management (GSAS-CM) scheme is to evaluate the
sustainability impact of building or infrastructure project over the course of the construction
phase. The scheme assesses the aspects of the construction processes and on-site practices of
that have a lasting sustainability impact; and, provides framework to perform measurements in
line with normative standards and accepted practices and to consider which impacts the project
can mitigate.
GSAS-CM scheme is used to assess processes and practices of contractors in projects of
construction of buildings, mixed use developments and districts & infrastructure; irrespective
of whether GSAS Design & Build certification is pursued by these projects or not. The scheme
benefits from best practices employed by the construction industry taking into consideration the
specific ecological and environmental context of the region.
Although the GSAS-CM scheme can be used for different types of project using the same process
and measurement principles, there may be differences among the project types depending
upon different applicability of criteria at each construction stage (enabling / foundation stage;
superstructure stage; and, finishing stage), types of measurements required within a particular
criterion, and specific reference values or scoring thresholds. Since the assessment involves
audits at each construction stage, the nature of observations in audit advisory notes issued at
each stage will also differ from criterion to criterion.
GSAS-CM framework is based on eight categories including Urban Considerations [UC], Site [S],
Energy [E], Water [W], Materials [M], Outdoor Environment [OE], Socio-Cultural Dimension [SD]
and Management & Operations [MO]. The categories are then broken down into specific criteria
that measure and define individual issues related to environmental aspects.
For a contractor it is possible to target selected categories and criteria to achieve desired GSAS
star rating. In order to incorporate the targeted GSAS-CM framework categories and criteria
and to outline how a construction project will plan human, organizational, and communication
resources and processes to meet the requirements of targeted GSAS criteria, a GSAS Construction
Management Plan (GSAS-CMP), shall be developed by contractor and assessed by GSAS-Trust.
Furthermore, appropriate submittals shall be made for assessment of evidence of compliance
against each targeted GSAS criterion as guided by the CMP.

GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
To fulfill the requirements of GSAS-CM scheme, following must be complied with.
GSAS Construction Management: Guidelines & Assessment 2017 - v2.1 - Issue 3.0 PAGE 10
GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
Eight categories of GSAS-CM address different aspects of the construction practices and outline
the ways in which contractors can mitigate the negative sustainability effects. These categories
are then broken down into specific criteria that define individual sustainability issues. Each
criterion specifies a process for measuring parameters related to sustainability impact and for
documenting the degree to which the requirements have been met. A score is then awarded to
each criterion based on the degree of compliance.
GSAS Construction Management: Guidelines & Assessment 2017 - v2.1 - Issue 3.0 PAGE 11
GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
Each category and criterion has an associated weight based on its relative environmental, social,
and economic impact. Once a score is assigned to each criterion in the assessment system, the
values are multiplied by the weight and a cumulative final score is determined. GSAS consists
of six certification levels to measure the sustainability impact of contractor’s processes and
practices on a specific project site. Certification can only be achieved when the final score is
equal or greater than 0.5, earning a rating of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 stars. The minimum acceptable rating
for construction project is 2 stars that it shall achieve corresponding to minimum score of 0.5.
Whereas the highest rating applicable to a project is 6 stars that it can achieve by earning a score
of 2.5 or more, subject to a maximum limit of 3.0 that is achievable in GSAS-CM scheme.
Important Notes
1. Incentive weights are allocated in certain GSAS-CM criteria to encourage additional efforts
to implement best practices on sustainability.
2. If criteria under Site or Materials categories are targeted in GSAS Design & Build
certification, the construction project can inherit the score as indicated in the awarded
Letter of Conformance (LOC). This is subject to confirmation that the construction project
meets the requirements for the inherited score.
3. Under GSAS-CM scheme, certification is denied: (i) if GSAS-CMP is not submitted or does
not demonstrate compliance with the requirements; (ii) If the project score falls below 0.5.
4. For assigning scores for criteria that require the qualitative compliance of a submitted
report, the report must demonstrate successful implementation of at least 80% of the
measures included in the guidelines (and additional best practices, if any), taking into
consideration the justified hierarchy of measures based on the significance of their
sustainability impacts.
5. For obtaining GSAS-CM certification it is mandatory that a project targets some or all
criteria from at least six categories. Failure to do this will result into denial of certification.

GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
The scheme is comprised of mainly two parts which are described hereinafter.
A) Purpose of GSAS-CMP
A GSAS-CMP is a site or project specific plan developed to incorporate the targeted GSAS-CM
categories and criteria, targeted final GSAS-CM rating and to ensure that human, organizational,
and communication resources and processes are in place to meet the requirements of the target.
Furthermore, it demonstrates a commitment from contractor that the construction project will
avoid, minimize or mitigate effects on the environment and surrounding area required as per the
targeted categories and criteria of GSAS-CM.
GSAS Construction Management: Guidelines & Assessment 2017 - v2.1 - Issue 3.0 PAGE 14
GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
C) Contents of GSAS-CMP
This section describes the titles and contents of each section of GSAS-CMP.
Introduction
This section is important to understand contractor’s purpose to target GSAS certification and his
commitment to sustainability.
• The purpose of the GSAS Construction Management certification and intended GSAS
targeted rating;
• Any previously performed assessments such as Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
or GSAS Design & Build-LOC;
• Key players - the parties that prepared the GSAS-CMP and will be responsible for
implementing and updating it.
Project Description
This section will provide an overview of project activity and its location, the context of GSAS
certification and a broad evaluation of value addition of GSAS in terms of sustainable development.
GSAS Construction Management: Guidelines & Assessment 2017 - v2.1 - Issue 3.0 PAGE 15
GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
GSAS-CMP Scope
This section shall be written after careful evaluation of which GSAS-CM categories and criteria
should be targeted based on broad evaluation of sustainability impact of practices and processes
at construction site. This is a good starting point to seriously consider capacity and capabilities of
contractor to mitigate sustainability impact associated with its site-specific activities pertaining
to targeted criteria.
Imparting training and rasing awareness is particularly important for several GSAS criteria
where human intervention and performance hold very high significance from sustainability point
of view. There criteria include: Energy Management; CO2 Emissions; Water Management; Dust
Control; Noise and Vibration Control; Waste Management; and, Construction Health and Safety.
However, GSAS-CM scheme-wide topics need to be identified and awareness building and skill-
based training should be encouraged.
GSAS Construction Management: Guidelines & Assessment 2017 - v2.1 - Issue 3.0 PAGE 16
GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
• The trainings needed for developing skills, competencies and awareness that personnel
working on site have received pertaining to environmental issues associated with targeted
GSAS criteria;
• Modes, contents and extent of training for skill, competency and awareness building;
• The personnel responsible for ensuring that appropriate training plans are devised; and,
• The forms and formats to maintain the records that at a later stage will provide evidence
on who undertook which training events on which dates and who conducted the training.
Sustainability training can take a variety of forms such as toolbox talks, meetings or more formal
training. Following are some examples.
• A site induction
• Familiarization with the requirements of the GSAS-CMP
• Any specific training required for particular aspects of the project e.g. dust and noise
management training for plant operators
• Familiarity with site environmental controls
Communication
This section is important from the point of view of managing internal and external communication
on sustainability aspects pertaining to GSAS-CM.
In this section, identify and expand upon aspects of contractor’s corporate communication
strategy relevant to GSAS certification such as:
• Internal communications;
• Toolbox meetings;
• Handling of external communications (incl. community liaison); and,
• Public complaints.
In all cases, identify the person/s responsible for coordinating inputs, outcomes and actions
arising from these communications.
GSAS Construction Management: Guidelines & Assessment 2017 - v2.1 - Issue 3.0 PAGE 17
GUIDELINES & ASSESSMENT
In this section, describe how the GSAS-CMP will be reviewed depending upon the change in
plan of deviation from targets. Any proposed change to the nature, extent or scope of activities
included in the project will trigger a GSAS-CMP review and update. This section must take into
consideration the following.

Projects shall complete the Domestic Water
Calculator to determine the cumulative domestic
water consumption in temporary facilities, offices,
workers accommodation and laundry. To be accounted
for construction site water consumption, such
facilities should be within the construction site or its

is determined by several input parameters including:
• Operating hours;
• Facilities types;
• Specifications of plumbing fixtures;
• Measured water consumption.
(V)
Based on the specifications of domestic fixtures
adopted and inputs for other parameters provided
by the project, the Calculator calculates the water
consumption for domestic use (WCcal_domestic), separately
for the facilities of the same type (e.g. site office,
cafeteria etc.). The calculated water consumption is
compared against the reference value (WCref_domestic)
to determine the Water Performance Coefficient
(WPCcal_domestic).

b. Waste Piles
• Do not allow construction debris and demolition
material to accumulate such that it presents an
environmental, health and/or safety hazard. All
such materials are to be disposed off-site.
• Pile only contains passive waste (e.g. wood, metal,
plastic, dry concrete) and no food waste, hazardous
waste or wastewater.
• If the waste pile contains plastic, paper or other
light-weight material it needs to be covered with a
net/tarpaulin or similar to stop waste from blowing
around.
c. Collect liquid waste, such as greywater, sewage, slurry
and other wastewater from source (typically a GRP tank
or similar such as a septic tank) by a licensed waste
collector and take off-site for disposal at a regulatory
authority approved facility.
C) Waste Segregation
a. Sort and segregate waste generated at source to avoid
mixing of incompatible waste materials, in accordance
with local regulations. Collect toxic and hazardous
waste separately and dispose of in accordance with
current regulations.
