N2  - ABSTRACT
Fast growing cities in developing countries have become the major contributor of 
construction waste which create vast rate of environmental pollution. In this study, a 
quantitative research approach was conducted by distributing 121 questionnaires to 
respective personals that are related to construction which involve project managers, 
architect, engineers and consultants. Factors that contribute to sources of construction 
waste were all analyzed using descriptive statistics, RII value and Pearson correlation 
was also conducted to ascertain the relationships between the factor that represent the 
research questions in the study. The research findings reveals that several factors 
contribute to high rate of construction waste include burning method, renovation and 
remodel are the factors with the highest RII value of 0.6958 and 0.6066 while the 
factors with the least RII value include design of building and availability of materials 
with RII of 0.3884 and 0.4247. furthermore, Pearson correlation was conducted to 
evaluate the relationship between size of a construction company and method of waste 
disposal factors at 0.470, 0.01 and lack of appropriate laws by government/causes of 
waste factors at 0.326, 0.01 and between size of organization firm and source of 
construction waste factors 0.251 and .006 respectively. Lastly, the factor of reliability 
was found at 0.898 which shows that the obtained data from the survey has a good 
internal consistency. In order to reduce the rate of waste generation, burning method 
of waste disposal is the factor that needs to have urgent attention and recycling method 
that have low attention need to be best way of handling waste. That client requirement 
need to be address so that they will not be selecting materials that produce too much 
waste in construction. Use of prefabricated element is the best measure for waste 
control/reduction and use of waste approximation should also be given less priority as 
regard to other factors.
