A solution to reduce construction waste during construction based on the motivation of workers

Abstract

Environmental protection is currently a global urgent issue. In the construction industry, the treatment of construction waste will contribute to the protection of the general environment. Currently, in Vietnam, solutions to reduce construction waste are not really interested and invested by contractors. This paper is devoted to present a management method based on making motivation for workers on the construction site under construction. This method will divide workers into teams and will have policies based on the quantity of materials used to clearly reward and punish. This method will be a useful and easy solution for construction engineers and contractors to apply to reduce construction waste during construction.
