Abstract
Construction companies have a significant impact on the environment in terms of waste generation. Through this research, there are a lot of information or data to proves that the BIM is a good tool to reduce the construction waste effectively in construction industry. According to literature review, there are six solutions have identified such as collision detection, construction sequencing and planning, reducing rework, synchronizing design and site layout, detection of errors and omissions as well as accurate quantity taking-off. According to data collected, majority of interviewees think that BIM can produce accurate quantity taking-off to ensure the materials are not over ordering to prevent construction waste generated. This research can help for practitioners from construction industry to solve or settle the construction waste. From the academic aspects, this research will provide better understanding or knowledge to the researchers about the BIM from construction waste aspects and solutions to reduce the construction waste by using BIM in construction industry. For the further recommendation, the target of interviewees can be extended to entire Peninsular Malaysia construction industry with a focus on certain areas. Secondly, more interview question may be prepared and also increase the number of interviewees. Thirdly, questionnaire survey may be conducted due to more option to be provided. The purpose of further recommendation in order to achieve the data analyse more reliable and accurate. In short, the BIM software can be considered as future trends to reduce construction waste and encourage the implementation of BIM in construction industry.
