Management For Construction Materials And Control Of Construction Waste In Construction Industry

Abstract

In recent treads a wide range of building materials is available for the construction of civil engineering
structures. The total cost of materials may be up to 60% or more of the total cost incurred in construction project
dependent upon the type of project. Effective construction materials management is a key to success for a construction
project. Construction waste is another serious problem in construction industry. A large and various types of
construction waste with different characteristics are created at all the stages of construction. Construction industries
have a larger part in contributing environmental problems. The economic and environmental benefits must be gained
from construction waste minimization. This paper presents a review on systematically investigation of the management of
construction materials and construction waste, material management techniques, control of construction waste and
existing situation of construction management and construction waste in the industry.
