Abstract
As a best practice for sustainable construction, Construction Waste Prevention (CWP) is poorly practiced, and may be largely associated with the knowledge, attitude, and behaviour of construction practitioners. With a focus on the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of CWP, this study was purposed to provide an in-depth analysis of the implementation of CWP within the construction industry, using a meta-synthesis of purposively sampled literature. An analysis of responses from construction industry professionals, derived from extant literature, was used to gain deeper understanding of the linkages of KAP to current CWP practice, if any. Findings show limited knowledge of waste prevention measures, and a negative attitude, which translates to practice for many. The study contributes to the unique area of construction waste prevention by shedding light on gaps between existing norms and what should be CWP practice among construction professionals.
