abstract: Research outcomes all over the world have indicated that the building production sector
of the construction industry relates more to the environment than other sectors of the economy
and is directly involved with its sustainable activities in terms of waste generation and balancing
the outcome has further been enhanced through industrial revolution time. The main aim of the
study, therefore, was to carry out research on issues and challenges that revolve around contractors’
attitudes towards maintaining a controlled environment on construction sites. A mixed research
design method that involved the quantitative and qualitative analysis was used for the study, while
the samples were picked with a random sampling method. The total sample size of respondents
is 100 questionnaires which were randomly selected for questionnaire administration to selected
construction firms in Lagos state. The questionnaires were administered to professionals from different
firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed in this review
while 92 questionnaires were duly returned by the respondents, which constitute 92% of the total
questionnaires distributed. The categorical regression method was used in the analysis. ANOVA,
Chi-square, and factor analysis were used for the analysis. The study discovered among other
things that the following components of environmental sustainability are important to sustain on
sites: environmental impact assessment, antiquities on-site, erodible surface, soil erosion monitoring,
environmental ecosystem, and environmental biomass, rock mass found on-site, soil contamination
monitoring and ecosystem services valuation, soil salinity monitoring, and water resources conservation.
The study concludes by recommending that the design of an effective way of disposing of waste
on-site and continually improving construction methods and procedures to enhance performance in
achieving a sustainable environment are vital to sustaining a viable construction environment among
other factors
