Abstract

Economic growth and urbanization in developing countries lead to significant construction activities that generate a huge amount of waste, which is a key problem in various cities. In this regard, managing waste should become an important and integrated task in project execution. This study aims in examining waste generated from construction activities of high-rise residential building projects in Hyderabad, India with focus on two main materials of construction projects: reinforcement bar and concrete. The research follows qualitative approach by using two high-rise residential building as the case studies. Site observations on the activities related to the two materials were carried out. The results of the site observations were used as inputs to interview three project personnel of each case study for clarifications on the observations and to have in-depth exploration and understanding of the observations. The result of each project was presented, and cross-case analysis was conducted to compare similarities and differences on the factors related to the waste generation.
