Abstract
Waste material is considered as residual material which is not used during construction projects. These materials are unable to be reused, returned, recycled, or salvaged which have significant impact to environment. The residual material that occurs is caused by inaccurate planning and inefficient use of material in the project. This research is intended to identify quantity of residual material in the construction of low-rise buildings. Data was collected from 25 housing and shophouse projects. It then analysed using quantitative analysis to determine the type and quantity of the construction waste material. The result shows that the highest waste material for housing is sand while for shophouse projects is bricks.
