This research aims to examine the LCCA awareness and implementation and evaluate the factors that promote LCCA implementation.

According to the findings, 20.1 of newly hired employees in consultancies and contruction firms have minimum education and no awareness, 20�70 had average awareness with some experience in the field and higher degrees, and 4.4 had a high level of awareness with extensive experience in the field.
