Abstract
The construction and demolition (C&D) processes produce a staggering amount of waste. These wastes primarily stem from design inefficiencies, remnants of raw materials, unanticipated alterations in building designs, suboptimal procurement and planning, and inadequate material handling. Addressing these concerns, Building Information Modeling (BIM) emerges as a promising solution to efficiently handle C&D waste by mitigating design issues, alterations, and unnecessary rework. This article delves into exploring the potential of BIM technology in supporting both the building design and construction processes to effectively manage C&D waste. Specifically, it highlights BIM-based strategies aimed at reducing, reusing, recycling, and managing construction waste. These approaches utilize ensuring design integrity: Design Reviews and Clash Detection in BIM, quantity take-off, Phase planning, and cost management to streamline waste management within the construction industry.
