Abstract

Sustainable construction involves a commitment to: Economic sustainability, Environmental sustainability and Social sustainability. However, the notion of ‘resilience’ has not been mainly integrated to the sustainable construction. Within this context, researchers have emphasised the need to bring these two notions ‘sustainability’ and ‘resilience’ into one framework as both these notions are interrelated. However, in order to integrate disaster resilience to the sustainability agenda, it is extremely important to identify the competency requirements of the built environment professionals. As a part of a key research project entitled CADRE, an analytical framework was developed to identify various built environment professionals, different resilience aspects and stages of the construction project cycle. Accordingly, based on this analytical framework, an extensive literature review was conducted to identify the competency requirements of the built environment professionals under different resilience aspects in the construction stage of the project cycle. Findings reveal, that the built environment professionals should have a variety of competencies to enhance resilience in the built environment projects and through that contribute to integrate the notion of resilience to the sustainability agenda.
