Abstract |
|
This project aims to investigate the incidence of waste in Indian construction industry, focusing mainly on residential and commercial building projects. Critical waste and waste causes were identified and categorised by disseminating a questionnaire survey. A methodology has been developed for quantifying waste categories identified such as excess inventory, material waste, rework, waiting, idle, transportation, excess processing, and excess movement. Six ongoing projects were taken up for the study and the wastes identified were quantified in terms of project cost by collecting data through direct observations, records and using tools such as work sampling and quality tracking system. |
