Productivity growth is indeed an essential aspect to consider when assessing the productive potential of a nation's economy. This study paper aims to identify the key factors affecting schedule and cost performance of Green Construction Projects (GCPs) that may contribute to the productivity attainment of the projects. Quantitative methodology which involved a questionnaire survey was send out to the construction green stakeholder. A total of 128 sets of questionnaires were analyse using Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26 statistical software. Findings have shown that the most influential factors that affect the cost performance are the high initial cost to the development of green buildings. As for schedule performance, the respondent highlights the crucial issue was the unfamiliarity with green technologies which may lead to technical difficulties during a construction process, henceforth give effect to GCP delivery. It is important to comprehend all essential aspects influencing construction productivity so that stakeholders may develop and implement strategies that are aligned with the goal and vision of the Green Nation Agenda. Despite the study's limitations, it is hoped that the findings will contribute significantly to productivity improvement in GCP, particularly in the Malaysian construction industry, in order to accomplish construction projectsin a timely manner and at a lower cost. © 2022 Institute of Physics Publishing.
