Assessing the impact of Waste Management and Effective Reutilization in Construction Industry

The purpose of the study is to investigate the waste assessment and effective reutilization in construction industry. The researchers used interview schedule method for collecting data from the respondent. The study was conducted during the period from October -2014 to march - 2015 thrissur district, kerala. The study identifies ten antecedents of waste management, they are designing phase, construction phase, implementation difficulties, time and cost, modern trends, contract and training, management techniques, onsite measures, beneficiaries, support and responsibilities. Furthermore the study examines the relationship between various antecedents of waste management and design managers satisfaction, support and responsibilities.The study will help the policy makers in framing suitable policies with regard to utilization of construction waste for some other purpose.
