近来，可持续性由于其对环境、社会和经济问题的积极影响而得到广泛接受。然而，在发展中国家，可持续建筑材料的价格太高。这项研究的目的是审查影响可持续建筑材料定价的驱动因素。本研究透过文献回顾与访谈，设计问卷并施测于实务中的数量测量师。调查产生的数据使用主成分分析进行分析，得出四个主要驱动因素。这些挑战包括：认识挑战（AC）、可持续性衡量工具挑战（SMTC）、经济挑战（EC）和信息挑战（IC）。这项研究提供了有益的经验教训，可持续的做法，定价专家在建筑行业定价时可以借鉴。这项研究的必要性不容怀疑，因为这种挑战的意识将有助于解决与可持续建筑材料的定价相关的问题。
Sustainability has in recent times attained much acceptance as a result of its positive impact on the environment, social and economic issues. Nevertheless, in developing countries, the price of sustainable construction materials are too high. The aim of the study was to examine drivers militating against the pricing of sustainable construction materials. Through an in-depth review of literature as well as an interview survey, questionnaire was designed and administered to practicing quantity surveyors. Data generated from the survey was analysed using Principal Component Analysis which resulted four main drivers. These included: awareness challenge (AC), sustainability measurement tools challenge (SMTC), economic challenge (EC), and information challenge (IC). The study offers useful lessons on sustainable practices that pricing experts in the construction industry can draw on when pricing.The need for this study cannot be doubted since the consciousness of such challenges will help in resolving issues associated with pricing of sustainable construction materials.
