“…Literature reports very few studies that are related to reuse and recycling of construction waste in low-and middle-income countries, and even less studies on factors that are affecting the implementation of reduction practices. According to Ofori [5], this result is due to a lower awareness for performing waste management in the low-and middle-income countries construction sector and less pressure on land resources used for construction waste disposal [6].…”

Low-and middle-income countries lag behind in research that is related to the construction industry and the waste problems that the sector is facing. Literature shows that waste reduction and recycling have received a continuous interest from researchers, but mainly from developed countries. Few reports from low-and middle-income countries are concerned about the reuse of masonry, concrete, and mortar in clay based building ceramics or recycling construction waste, but mostly in relation to concrete aggregates. Furthermore, few authors have described the major barriers and motivations for construction waste reduction. The objective of this paper is to report the findings on a research performed in Costa Rica with the objective to determine the barriers and motivations that the construction sector is facing to improve the management of the construction materials. The study is based on data collected in two phases. During the first phase, a survey was sent via e-mail to 419 main contractors registered at the School Federation of Engineers and Architects (CFIA). The second phase consisted of a focus group discussion with 49 professionals from the construction industry to analyse and validate the findings from the survey. Descriptive statistic methods helped to draw the conclusions. The result of the research is a comprehensive list of observed barriers and motivations for waste reduction practices in the construction sector. These are not only applicable to Costa Rica, but can be used as a guide for similar studies in other low-and middle-income countries.

“…Moreover, despite the potential use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques by architects as a platform for minimizing construction waste in their design projects, there are hardly any BIM applications in current practice that address design out waste in an integrated manner with the other design parameters (Liu, et.al., 2015), Therefore, there is a lack of methods and design tools, that identify waste streams in relation to their project stage incidence, as indicated by Osmani et al (2008), and as such it is difficult to analyze the traceability of waste generated. Moreover, despite well-established recognition of the impact of design on the reduction of waste in literature, DW research efforts in the last decade are limited if compared with CDW recycling studies (Yuan and Shen, 2011).…”

Citation: AbstractReduction in construction waste is a pressing need in many countries The design of building elements is considered a pivotal process to achieve waste reduction at source, which enables an informed prediction of their wastage reduction levels. However the lack of quantitative methods linking design strategies to waste reduction hinders designing out waste practice in building projects. Therefore, this paper addresses this knowledge gap through the Keywords:Building design waste reduction model; design waste reduction strategies; design waste reduction level quantification; design waste reduction assessment.LLatas, C and Osmani, M (2016) Development and validation of a building design waste reduction model, Waste Management (In Press)

Esta es la última editorial de la serie dedicada al proceso de Revisión Sistemática de Literatura. En ella se aborda el proceso de documentación de la búsqueda, la selección de estudios, el análisis de los documentos seleccionados, el análisis de calidad la extracción de información y, finalmente, la síntesis de datos que corresponde a la respuesta de las preguntas de investigación a la luz de la información recopilada. Al leer estas cuatro editoriales como un todo, espero que los autores y lectores de la revista DYNA obtengan una visión global de la metodología que facilite el proceso de revisión de literatura y su posterior publicación.
