What did the construction give to the environment is the pollution that comes from various source such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas emission, depletion of natural resources and depletion of ozone layer. Hence, green construction has been promoted in order to save the environment from any consequence of construction. However, it still fails at some point where there only few numbers of contractor that applying green construction in their project. This study will help to overcome the problem by identify the failure to keep the green construction being used in terms of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), and finally will develop a framework to uplift the barriers. From this study, questionnaire survey, will be used as a method to identify and collect all the data. Scope of study will be limit to G7 contractor at Wilayah Persekutuan area and those data will be use as material to co1nplete the finding. The total nu1nber of questionnaire need to be . distributed has been .calculated and there will be 230 set of -questionnaires will be_ distributed through e-mail and mail and expected to receive back at least 32 number of set of questionnaires. The data then will be analysed according to the Ajzen's theory and from that, the most potential barrier to implement green construction in contractor in Malaysia will be identify.
