Housing is always critical for all governments in developing countries before providing public housing for low-income people. However, public housing has always been associated with long-term problems and poor value for money. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda, the globe is presently being encouraged to promote Sustainable Success (SS) in the construction industry, particularly in public housing. The Malaysian government is aware of the situation, and the Ministry of Housing and Local Government recently emphasized the need for long-term improvement in the National Housing Policy (NHP) 2018-2025. The sustainability factor will greatly increase the value of construction projects, particularly public housing projects. As a result, the purpose of this study is to present a thorough review of the SS that contributes to long-term success in public housing projects. To gain a better understanding of the key topics, a systematic literature review was conducted, and the findings were validated using a qualitative method involving semi-structured interviews with five construction key players. As a consequence, economic, social, and environmental factors all play an important role in achieving long-term public housing. The study's findings could be critical for the framework's development, acting as a catalyst for the creation of sustainable public housing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since construction 4.0 was introduced in our construction industry, there has been a trend increase in awareness of adopting technology such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) in improving green building performance. Therefore, numerous researchers studied the possibility of Building Information Modelling (BIM) that the practitioner can imply in achieving sustainable and green results in Green Assessment Tools. Therefore, this paper aims to highlight the challenges of implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) in green assessment tools. The objectives of this paper are to identify the awareness of BIM as a Green Assessment tool among the stakeholders and investigate the challenges in implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Green Assessment Tools The research method for this paper is quantitative method research where the data obtained from questionnaires which have been distributed to consultant firms, contractor, client, and accessors that involve in green assessment. The data had been analyzed by using SPSS software which produces the frequency and descriptive statics in terms of percentage. The result showed that the financial constraint is ranked first which shows that, the high initial investment could be the crucial challenge in implementing BIM in Green Assessment Tools.
