摘要：One of the main contributors to the waste generated in the Malaysian construction industry is housing projects. The construction waste has increased over years, creating environmental problems and profit loss to contractors. Limited data are available to date in Malaysia, especially in terms of sources, types and quantity. The aim of this study is to explore the causes and contributory factors that cause waste generation in selected housing project followed by quantification of common waste generated at sites. Site observation and interviews with labors and site management was conducted in determining the waste sources and waste management practices. Management and workers were the main causes of waste generated in this study.
