Stakeholder Participation Trends in the South African Green Building Industry: 2016–2018 Perspectives
The participation of stakeholders involved in the construction of buildings is crucial to the successful implementation of green building practice in South Africa. This paper investigated stakeholders’ participation trends in the new South African office buildings for 2016–2018 with an As-built or Design rating. The study expanded on a 2016 study covering the period 2009 to 2016. The study described participation trends and the market share of major stakeholders. Seven stakeholder disciplines were analysed: owners, architects, quantity surveyors, green consultants, main contractors, and structural and electrical engineers. Data was made available by the Green Building Council of South Africa. A total of 156 new office buildings received a green building certification between 2009 and 2018. The extent of participation between firms of the different disciplines varied significantly: Owners (75), architects (63), quantity surveyors (55), green consultants (27), main contractors (34), structural engineers (42) and electrical engineers (48). The market share of the top three firms also differed significantly: Owners (19.9%), architects (29.3%), quantity surveyors (26.4%), green consultants (57.7%), main contractors (50.3%), structural engineers (41.4%) and electrical engineers (31.9%). The study indicated an acceptance of green building as a practice by different stakeholders, which was validated by a growing stakeholder participation trend and by the number of projects firms had undertaken.
