The aim of this study is to identify relevant green design, green purchasing and green transportation practices as part of GSCM if applied in the construction sector. The research variables were obtained through a literature study on GSCM both in construction sector and other sectors, then the variables were validated by respondents, practitioners in construction sector. Based on three respondents, there are ten green design practices, six green purchasing practices and five green transportation practices that are relevant to the construction sector, especially building projects.
