Abstract

Construction waste management is currently a worldwide issue that concerns not only the on-site construction management level but also the sustainable development direction of construction industry. The quantification of construction waste volume, at the project stage, is essential for the building practitioners to properly plan and control its disposal. A detailed model is established to estimate the on-site volume of construction waste for new residential buildings. This quantification model has been developed by investigating 20 dwelling projects in Pearl River Delta of China. Based on the bill of quantities, two coefficients have been provided to estimate the wreckage volume and the packaging volume individually. Finally, a case study of residential building with masonry-concrete structure is demonstrated to illustrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the model.
