Waste Management in Construction (2012)

Ref: build0034 This 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 contractors 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.
