It is widely acknowledged that there is a significant amount of waste in the construction industry. Because the construction industry has a significant and direct influence on many other industries through both purchasing inputs and providing products to all other industries, reducing waste in the construction industry could result in significant cost savings to society. Proposing the waste minimization techniques by understanding the cause of waste generation is the main motto of this project. For which the project will be initiated in 5 basic steps: Conceptual preparation, Onsite visits and observations, Onsite data collection, Data processing and propose the solution. Periodic onsite observation will be conducted for a period of over 2 months followed with a survey consisting of Project managers, architects and assistant engineers present on the site. Over the scope of this project 5 major causes of wastes on the construction sites have been identified as a result of the survey conducted among the engineers directly or indirectly associated with the construction site. They are as follows: Lack of onsite material control, Damage to materials on site during transportation, Poor handling of materials, Waste resulting from cutting uneconomical shapes, using excessive quantities of materials than required. This project will be throwing light on the importance of lean construction management in the construction industry and all the benefits of using the lean construction techniques on the construction site.
