Construction activity is one of the main elements that considerably disturb the environment. The scope of the present work is to study the hazardous effects of construction on environment and environmental policy matters according to ISO-14000. The consequences of construction activities in contamination of surroundings have been observed through collection of data from the management of various construction companies concerning the measures/policies adopted to secure the environment from dangerous aspects of their on-going projects. The analysis of data reveals that open crushing and grading of aggregates, use of health hazard chemicals and improper deployment of natural resources in construction result into environmental degradation. The construction planners are advised to implement standard and safe policies to ensure environmental protection.
