Designing And Developing Construction Waste Management (Cwm) Integration Framework Through Building Information Modelling (Bim).

Abstract

This study focuses on designing and developing Construction Waste Management (CWM) integration frameworks through Building Information Modeling (BIM). It explores new systematic methodologies, innovative data integration approaches, and the development of digital frameworks, collaborative tools, technological interfaces, analytical processes, and implementation procedures. The research emphasizes context-appropriate implementation strategies for Design for Waste Reduction (DfWR) principles within BIM, moving from basic waste quantification to advanced design optimization using local capabilities and resources. The findings indicate that significant waste reduction can be achieved even with limited technological resources, highlighting the importance of systematic approaches over sophisticated technology. Furthermore, the integration of DfWR principles with lean construction methodologies, such as value stream mapping, continuous improvement, and waste elimination, provides comprehensive frameworks for construction optimization. This integrated approach can lead to a 30-40% improvement in overall construction efficiency and a 25-35% reduction in material waste through coordinated optimization strategies.
