 
Waste
Management in Construction (2012)
Ref: build0034This dissertation aims to
report the
exploration of the problem of “waste management on
construction
sites” with more emphasis laid down in the United Kingdom.
The
study unveils the innate dangers that the material waste poses to the
established construction Industry. Materials are extremely significant
in the construction industries, particularly on the building sites, but
the issue lies in the fact that not all the delivered material that has
been ordered is used for the construction purposes. The consequent
desertion of the material left then becomes a part of waste. The extent
of material wastage is discussed with minute details after thorough
research from the internet and certain books. The measures of reducing
the construction wastage is also extensively laid down and explained in
the other part of the dissertation. With the implementation of
measures, there come certain barriers that obstruct the smooth going
path of material reduction. These barriers are discussed in the next
section. The chief research instruments that were used for this project
included the secondary sources like books and website sources. The
research revealed that material wastage result in an additional cost to
any ongoing construction project and in turn reduces the
contractor’s profit. The consideration of the transportation
and
storage cost of the material wastage is undertaken while evaluating the
financial profits and losses. Non- reclamation of waste also leads to a
bare loss of revenue of the contractor. Therefore, the issues of lack
of knowledge and poor management are discussed in the dissertation. The
dissertation, to end with, recommends that the reusing and recycling of
the material wastage in construction sites is a feasible option in
construction waste management”. It also recommends that the
material wastage can be abridged by providing certain incentives to the
workmen for a better material handling.
