Compulsory question, the question carries 20 marks
As the construction industry is growing rapidly, managing a project becomes

more vital. The three major parameters to be optimised for a project are content,
time and cost to reach a high level of quality. These parameters are also essential
for a construction project to satisfy customers on time. Today, it is also critical to
protect the environment either at a manufacturing or at a construction site.
Environmental problems and the growth of construction industry cause a new
topic to manage construction waste with the help of green supply chain
management (GSCM). GSCM reduces energy usage and waste, so it prevents
any problem that will occur in human health and environment. To decrease
waste with the help of GSCM in construction site, waste management
regulations must be set to force the producers and consumers for its application.
The European Union Council published a waste management directive in 2008
that gives some goal numbers to manage construction waste to minimise the
environmental effect. The goal is to reach a reduction of 70% of construction
and demolition waste (CDW) that will be reused, recycled or recovered in 2020.
(1) [1 your opinion what are the environmental considerations and
compliances required to deal with GSCM. (6marks)
(2) Discuss the role of Green Building Materials and Products in Waste
Management. (7 marks)
(3) Explain the Design considerations relating to construction waste

reduction. (7 marks)
