Promoting the green development of the construction industry is an important measure for China to implement a sustainable strategy. This study is based on the SBM model that considers undesired output, measures the green total factor productivity of the construction industry in 11 provincial administrative regions of the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2008 to 2017, and further establishes a geographic detector model to explore the driving factors of evolution. The study found that: consider the green total factor productivity of undesired output is always lower than the total factor productivity of which unexpected output is not considered. Among them, the green total factor productivity of the construction industry in Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu is always 1; the level of economic development is always the driving force during the study period. The key factors in the change of green total factor productivity in the construction industry are not independent of each other. Finally, according to the research results, relevant suggestions for improvement are put forward.
