Therefore, it requires the involvement of construction organizations to change the way towards the green technology constructions. However, before making any changes it is important to know the readiness of the contractor to green technology. The purpose of this research is to assess the readiness level of the contractor to green technology, identify main factors that related to contractor’s readiness based on awareness, triggers and potential barriers and identify the awareness level based on the demographic profiles of the contractors. 60 questionnaires was used to conduct this research.
