two types of certification provided by Sustainable
INFRASTAR: (1) Design (Provisional) and (2) Design
and Construction.
In the Design Assessment phase, the project is
assessed on the sustainability of project activities
that take place in the pre-construction stage
including setting up policies, plans, and targets for
the development project, as well as consideration
of value-for-money options and resource efficiency
in the design submission process. Meanwhile, in
the Design and Construction Assessment phase,
the project is assessed on the actual activities that
have been executed during construction including
the provision of suitable worker amenities and
a comprehensive monitoring plan for noise and
vibration from construction activities on-site
— whether or not these have been considered
extensively in the planning and design stages.
Both certifications have different assessment

SUSTAINABLE INFRASTAR CORE
CRITERIA AND SUB CRITERIA
Sustainable INFRASTAR measures the extent
to which an infrastructure project addresses
and implements sustainability approaches.
Although Sustainable INFRASTAR does not
evaluate the performance or achievement of a
project, it still incentivises all efforts taken to
ensure the effective and efficient use of land,
materials, energy, and water with minimal waste
during infrastructure development. There are
six core criteria that a project is assessed on
to determine if it qualifies for a Sustainable
INFRASTAR rating:
