Summary:

This book is an important guide for construction professionals interested in the intersection between sustainable construction and environmental risk management. Through a series of chapters that address everything from disaster assessment and its impacts to the application of innovative methodologies such as building information modeling (BIM) and life cycle thinking, the text provides a thought-provoking theoretical and practical framework for environmental responsibility in the construction industry. The chapters are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of contemporary challenges in construction, addressing the need for economic development that respects the labor rights of construction workers and promotes sustainability within a construction project, enabling prevention and planning from development for new projects, or mitigation and restoration for existing buildings. Each section offers conceptual and methodological tools that facilitate the integration of sustainability criteria into real projects, guiding readers towards a more conscious and efficient practice. In addressing the discipline of project management and the crucial role of labor management, the document does not limit itself to theory but emphasizes the importance of collaboration and proper planning in project execution. This makes it an essential guide for practitioners and academics seeking not only to comply with regulations, but also to transform the way construction projects are conceived and developed. In conclusion, this book stands as an essential resource for those who wish not only to understand the risks and opportunities presented by sustainable construction, but also to apply it effectively and ethically in their practices.
