Construction wastes are mainly generated due to improper design, poor procurement and planning, inefficient material handling, residues of raw materials, and unexpected changes in building design. Building information modelling (BIM) can efficiently manage the C&D waste by avoiding design problems, changes, and rework. This paper investigates the potential of BIM technology for supporting building design and construction processes to manage C&D waste. In particular, BIM-based approaches that can reduce, reuse, recycle, and manage construction waste through clash detection, quantity take-off, planning of construction activities, site utilization planning, and prefabrication are proposed in this paper. }, author_keywords={Building information modeling (BIM), collaboration, process, waste management, work flow. }, address={Perth, Australia }, issn={2309-0979 }, publisher={ }, language={English}, document_type={Conference Paper}, source={IGLC}, }
