| Summary: | Construction industry has an adverse impact on environment due to its generation of construction waste. Besides the
environment, the waste generated also affect the cost, productivity, time, social and economy of the industry. This
waste generation is resulted from various factors at different stage of construction lifecycle. Current study has
identified 46 factors of waste generation based on extensive literature review. These factors were classified into 7
groups and clustered according to their occurrence relative to various phases of construction lifecycle. It was found
that most of these factors occur during construction phase. The significant factors that occur during construction
phase are error ordering and poor workmanship. By identifying the crucial occurrence phase of factors which
contribute to waste generation, it will help the construction community to avoid or lessen the construction waste
generation. |
