PURPOSE: The aim of this paper is to explore the key practitioner’s level of involvement in the delivery of sustainable regeneration projects in the UK. Practitioners’ level of involvement is a major factor which has, and continues to determine the delivery of sustainability outcomes of regeneration projects. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The paper adopted a qualitative study which obtained data from 21 key practitioners’ through a semi-structured interviews in exploring practitioners’ level of involvement in the delivery of sustainable regeneration projects in the UK. The semi-structured interviews are conducted with seven practitioners’ each from the three construction organisations selected through a purposive sampling approach for the study. FINDINGS: The findings identify varied levels of involvement of the key practitioners’ at the three delivery stages - early, construction and post construction of the projects. The findings further reveal that clients’ representatives, commercial managers and architects are the most frequently involved practitioners during the early stages of the projects. The findings also indicate that practitioners who have sustainability assigned to their roles and their responsibilities, such as sustainability managers etc. are the least involved in all the three delivery stages of the projects. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: The study involves interview with 21 practitioners from three organisations delivering sustainable regeneration projects; hence this could limit the generalization of the research findings. However, the findings of this study could serve as a useful source of information for future further study in this area. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The paper is of the view that the level of key practitioner’s involvement in the delivery of the projects will have an impact on their knowledge and will determine how sustainability benefits are promoted and delivered from the projects. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Although some studies have been carried out on practitioner’s engagement ...
