CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION1.1 INTRODUCTIONNowadays, the construction sector in Malaysia is one of the largest and can contribute to economic growth of the country. Various employment opportunities provided to parties involved in the construction sector can also contribute to economic growth. Over the next 30 years, the construction sector in Malaysia will continue to grow due to the increasing demand for transportation, education, housing, water supply and others. This is what the Construction Industry Board Malaysia (CIDB) is taking on for today’s booming construction sector. In general, management can be defined as direction related to business or carrying out an activity that uses certain skills and techniques to achieve the objective of a job. . For an organization, the management of each individual group is very important to achieve the management's objectives. This will improve the efficiency of the use of limited resource management and the effectiveness of management of an organization. (Kreitner, 1983). Construction management refers to management activities related to the common service or task of architects, engineers and other parties related to building construction programs. These activities are carried out at the concept planning stage, the pre-design, design and construction phases contribute to the control of time, cost and quality of construction of new facilities. Meanwhile, project means a series of activities that have a specific objective, the beginning and the end of which is to achieve the objectives in an efficient manner by using the allocated resources efficiently and correctly. (Punmia & Khandelwal, 1989) According to Uzairi (2000), this research focuses on the sources of construction materials where a constructi...... middle of paper ...... construction. This information is useful to the parties involved in planning a more systematic management system, especially in Perak State and Kuala Lumpur. If waste is reduced and recycled, the construction industry will be more meaningful and beneficial to consumers in the future. Indirectly, all parties involved in the construction sector by reducing the wastage of construction waste. 28% to 35% contributing to the cost of construction materials. If this controls construction waste, costs can also be reduced. (Skoyles, 1975). There are many benefits and advantages to be gained from implementing waste management in construction activity. Once you know the constraints of the waste management process, then you will be able to give an edge in the case study areas and the methods to improve the weaknesses in construction waste management will be determined..
