In the modern construction business, Green Building (GB) has become the flagship of sustainable development. Previous studies reveal it can essentially deal with a wide range of challenges for project development, from minor concerns to devastating disasters. These days, there are a lot of disastrous abrupt tragedies happening all around us, such as floods, which may harm both people and animals. The current developments have been cited as one of the contributing elements to the tragedy. Mostly due to unanticipated actions to guarantee that development is proceeding as planned, integration across process, people, and environment. Thus, GB has been seen as an approach that is able to resolve issue related to a disaster. It can lessen the likelihood that one will occur. Delivering successful green building projects is still a challenging task due to its complexity in design and construction regardless the fact that the number of green building projects around the world is increasing. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify the barriers in managing construction sites for green building projects. This study used quantitative methods with a close-ended questionnaire as the research instrument. By using stratified sampling, 36 respondents were responded to this study. The data collected were summarized using critical analysis and descriptive analysis. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. The findings show that the major barriers encountered while managing construction sites for green building projects are cost concerns; collaboration issues; and financial struggle.
