Web-based construction waste estimation system for building construction projects
Abstract This paper proposes a web-based construction waste estimation system (WCWES) for building construction projects incorporating the concepts of work breakdown structure, material quantity takeoff, material classification, material conversion ratios, material wastage levels, and the mass balance principle. The WCWES integrates online data input modules and online analytical modules for the quantification of different kinds of waste generated in the construction process at the project level. It facilitates accessibility, interfacing, connectivity and information sharing of users in carrying out a wide range of construction waste estimation tasks for sustainable construction waste management. A hypothetical building construction project is used to demonstrate the application and usefulness of the WCWES.
Highlights Developing a web-based building construction waste estimation system Allowing online analytical processing of construction waste Improving the estimation accuracy of construction waste Allowing multi-dimensional analysis of construction waste
