Sustainable development requires to identify and assess needs of all relevant stakeholders. For a construction industry stakeholder needs assessment is crucial as it is basis for long term development, as it is providing all infrastructure, while a construction project themselves are short term in long term planning perspective. Stakeholder needs assessment in the construction industry is a challenging aspect due the various stakeholder group time and needs perspective including wide time offset, what would have to be considered in policy development. Governance bodies define regulative norms for project planners and developers and project have to comply as direct requirements. Regulative norms and requirements would have to define norms long term perspective, while project focus is primarily short term due to the project nature. Problem: Construction governance and planning requires assessment of all relevant stakeholder needs, but due to the construction industry specifics, there are challenges to extract and reflect all relevant stakeholder needs. Purpose of current research is to identify policy development aspects for relevant stakeholder identification and need assessment for governance policy developers. Main results: Stakeholder identification aspects for planning analysis were identified. Conclusions: Sustainable development policy has to reflect long term needs, representing the interests of the Non-Stakeholder groups.
