<![CDATA[This integrative evidence review examines sustainable materials selection and life-cycle cost management in construction by asking how sustainable materials selection is connected to life-cycle cost management and which conditions determine whether that connection becomes operationally meaningful. The article synthesizes peer-reviewed and institutional literature relevant to industrial assets, production systems, infrastructure, and built environments, emphasizing mechanisms, boundary conditions, and measurement choices rather than a universal average effect. The synthesis identifies complementary roles for predictive analytics and maintenance planning, legacy-system compatibility, and governance or coordination routines. No survey, interview, experiment, proprietary dataset, or regression estimate is represented as having been collected for this conceptual review.]]>
