Paper Title
MATERIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
Abstract
Environmental impact is minimised through the reduction, reuse, and recycling of materials, which is
central to sustainable development and construction waste management. In accordance with their significance in the residential construction process, this study classifies building materials using ABC Analysis. A comprehensive analysis is performed to compare the waste percentages of three residential developments. In addition to investigating novel approaches to waste minimization, the research seeks to identify the origins of construction site material waste and suggest preventative measures. Environmental considerations are subordinate to project objectives, as evidenced by the absence of explicit government regulations on reuse management. Organisations frequently fail to implement specialised policies and a significant number of construction professionals lack a comprehensive understanding of waste management. Given India's accelerated development and the resulting increase in waste materials, the paper argues in favour of government legislation concerning construction site reuse management and stresses the importance of enhancing training in material waste management techniques. Significantly highlighting the need for educational initiatives and regulatory frameworks, this study provides valuable insights into the management of material waste in residential construction. The study's scope encompasses not only suggesting environmentally conscientious construction practices but also recommending specific waste reduction strategies. Political intervention and industry-wide cognizance are required to promote sustainable construction practices, as the findings are especially pertinent in the context of India's developmental landscape. This study aims to investigate the current status of wastage material management in building construction, with a specific focus on grade A-items such like Steel, Ready mix concrete, AAC Blocks, Tiles etc during the residential building construction stage. comprehensive overview of current challenges related to wastage material management in residential building construction during the construction stage by synthesizing data from recent journal papers and field study findings, it seeks to offer practical recommendations for improving efficiency, reducing waste generation, and promoting sustainable
practices within the construction industry.
