One of the significant problems in construction industry is perhaps the waste materials. It has been observed from various construction sites that, even those materials which are least wasted affects the cost of construction; On the other hand the environment also gets polluted by the waste materials. This review has literally been undertaken to study the techniques of minimizing the waste of construction in high-rise buildings in Lucknow. So, in short the construction waste adversely affects both the cost of project and the environment as well. Therefore construction waste has become a severe problem, which has to be eradicated or at least minimized. So, In order to do optimum minimization of construction waste there are certain techniques which are adopted, and among them the following techniques have proved to be beneficial:- (1) 3R(reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) technique, (2) Information modelling at design stage, (3) Pre-casting and Pre-fabrication, (4) Sustainable design of construction, (5) Increasing the awareness on waste reduction, (6) Virtual prototyping, (7) Modern methods of construction, (8) Good operating practices, (9) Technology or process modification, (10) Site sorting of waste. Many of the researchers have worked on the techniques of reducing the waste of construction with especial emphasis on the three R(reduce, reuse and recycle) technique. It is hoped that this paper may help in knowing the techniques of waste minimization.
