Abstract:

Construction waste generation of materials on site is a severe issue causing major environmental impact worldwide. There is a need to controlling construction waste generation and promote construction waste management methods. This study has recognized common construction waste strategies and management methods relevant to application in construction projects of Pakistan. Gathering of data involved survey from twenty-eight experience personnel from client, consultant and contractor firm involved in construction works. Analysis of the data with relative importance index revealed that reduce, reuse and recycle are reported as of high relevancy and use for effective waste management while prefabrication, value engineering and building information modeling are top three ranked methods useful and relevant for managing waste on site in construction projects on site.
