This study highlights the factors that contribute to the generation of waste and identifies a number of barriers as
potential hurdles of waste management. The results for the factors which contribute to waste generation obviously
show that traditional construction method, poor workmanship, poor storage, poor handling, untidy construction
sites and lack of management techniques to minimize waste are the main factors that have the highest mean
responses. The barriers of waste management show that lack of knowledge of construction waste management has
higher ranking compared with the other issues, with a mean response which ranges from important to most important.
