This research examines sustainable construction methods in the 3rd District of Cagayan by combining deconstruction processes with reuse and recycling to manage increasing amounts of construction and demolition waste. The swift expansion of urban areas combined with insufficient infrastructure systems has led to heightened waste management challenges requiring local implementation of sustainable solutions. The research team implemented mixed-methods research to examine present construction waste techniques and to discover sustainable materials and methods while considering their environmental, economic and social effects. Construction contractors exhibited advanced understanding of sustainable building practices but generally chose material reuse as their primary strategy. The deconstruction process revealed potential but suffered from a shortage of skilled workers and adequate training programs while recycling operations faced obstacles due to poor infrastructure and insufficient economic incentives. Survey results revealed that respondents placed greatest importance on environmental advantages like diminished greenhouse gas emissions and better resource management while economic and social benefits achieved recognition but failed to be seen as essential. Three major barriers exist in the current system due to inconsistent regulatory enforcement together with insufficient government incentives and lack of community participation. Findings indicate construction industry support for sustainability exists at the local level but broader acceptance needs coordinated policy frameworks alongside infrastructure development and economic instruments together with community engagement. Local government entities and construction firms alongside other stakeholders use this framework and set of strategies to create sustainable building practices that meet local development targets while complying with international environmental standards.
