Concerted efforts from all stakeholders, especially the employer, are essential. The employer’s role is pivotal in setting a project direction within the construction supply chain. This paper explored the potential legal duties and obligations impacting employers pursuing sustainability in building construction projects. The research looked into the applicable sustainability requirements in buildings by applying descriptive analysis, content analysis, and analytical analysis approaches within the doctrinal legal research methodology parameter. The requirements were subsequently compared and evaluated within Malaysia’s existing framework of building standard forms. The analysis revealed that whilst the current structure of the standard forms affecting the employer’s obligations is to be maintained, there are augmented obligations on the employer’s part that must be addressed. These augmented obligations are classified into a framework or parameter of em-ployer’s obligations that can be introduced into the current structure of the building standard forms in Malaysia.
