Using the DEA model and based on the panel data of China construction industry between the year of 1995 and 2008, this paper chooses the number of employees, fixed assets and the total power of mechanical equipment as input index, gross output and value added as output index, to conduct an overall evaluation of China construction industry Sustainable Development. Based on the input–output index, the study data shows that China construction industry has been in low level of development, and experienced from dropping to rising and begun to develop well since 2002. Furthermore, according to the results of the element adjustment, the sustainable development of China construction industry can be achieved by optimizing employees’ structure and proportion of investment assets, improving the operational efficiency of mechanical equipment and expanding the market actively.
