Abstract
Waste in construction projects indicates that waste can occur at any step of the building process. In recent years, various research initiatives throughout the world have focused on waste in the construction. It is widely acknowledged that building generates a significant amount of wastage. To decrease waste in the building, the following aspects are site time and cost. The goal of this project is to reduce construction waste using lean concepts. Construction wastes are regarded by Lean Construction as potential wastes that inhibit the flow of value to the client and should be removed. The method often begins with physically mapping the present state and progresses to a future, which can serve as the base for additional lean initiatives. Minimizing material waste would not only improve the work and add value to individual consumers, but it would also benefit to the entire economy. Lean technology is a new management method in today's industrial sector since, it has direct the impact on total performance of the organization. A questionnaire survey has been prepared in factors used to obtain the data from the construction management. The ranking method analysis are carried out by use of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Implementation of lean provides minimizing the waste with maximum result.
