Abstract:

Construction waste is one of the big problems that directly influence the construction industry's financial and environmental conditions throughout the world. Due to dismantling and construction during the last 20 years, waste increasing day by day. Thus researchers and experts also paid more attention to this problem. Different experts and researchers investigated this issue, specifically waste cost, source, and its minimization in the construction industry. For this purpose, to reduce waste and increase their competitiveness in the global market current model survey is used and reviewed. After this study, it is observed that Construction and Demolition of waste are minimized in many developed countries by adopting rules and regulations. This study mainly focuses on waste cost, sources, and management of waste models in district Peshawar. For achieving the objectives, a survey questionnaire is developed, which consisted of twenty questions. The survey forms are distributed among 07 persons (10 forms per person) related to the professional construction industry such as Field/Site engineer, Quality assurance and control engineer, Environment safety professional, site manager, construction business owner, designer, and project manager. After conducting a survey, the obtained data is analyzed and processed. It is observed that all construction companies generated large waste amounts and use oil drums at the site for waste collection. It is also concluded that adopting waste management practices causes a reduction in waste on-site. In addition, fewer training pieces are obtained by respondents on waste management; thus, they required more training for awareness purposes. Civil discipline during a construction project produced more waste on-site instead of another discipline. Based on the results, it is concluded that a waste model contractor is recommended for use.
