Material waste has been recognized as a major problem in the construction industry that has important implications both for the efficiency industry and for the environmental impact of the construction projects. Moreover, waste measurement plays an important role in the management of production system since it is effective way to assess their performance, allowing areas of potential improvement to be pointed out. This study describes the main results occurrence of material waste at two building sites located in different regions of Ahmedabad. Some typical figures for the waste of some key construction materials are provided and the main causes of waste in the sector are discussed. The results indicate that the waste of materials in the construction industry is fairly high and that a large variability in waste incidence is found across different projects. Most of this waste can be avoided by implementing inexpensive preventive measures, mostly related to managerial improvements.
