Concrete and Concrete Making Materials Wastage Minimization in Construction of Housing project in Bole Bulbula site
One of the wide ranging problems that the construction industry is facing is the wastage of construction inputs. This major problem is spread all over the country and domestic contractors are critically affected. Moreover the projects’ performances are also affected against cost and quality. Construction materials wastage management is an important element in the management of construction projects. One of the construction materials widely used in construction projects is concrete. Concrete being one of the important constituents of many of the construction projects, in addition to its subjectivity to variability, requires a close and thorough care and handling in construction projects. An attempt is made in this paper to identify concrete and concrete making material waste and locate causes of its generation in housing projects at Bole Bulbula site. The project study observations are derived from the interview data analysis of ten contractors’ and two consultant's professionals located at the housing project. According to the result found from the survey study, 100% of the stakeholder’s respondents believe that; the existence of concrete and concrete making material wastage problem in Bole Bulbula Housing Construction projects.50% of the interviewer’s indicated seven determined problems are caused due to lack of proper structured wastage management plan before starting construction and they also mitigate there ideas how to minimize that wastage. From my observation, material wastage is mostly created due to utilization, poor workmanship, design problem, improper material handling and storage system. Following this identification, proper methods are proposed to mitigate the generation of wastes by adopting proper construction and management wastage methods, which allow the waste reduction from using concrete making materials. Finally, I recommend the stockholders must have taken the guideline to design waste management plan.
