Enshassi, A (1996) Materials control and waste on building sites. Building Research & Information, 24(1), pp. 31-34. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
Data in the study was obtained from 86 housing projects on several locations in the Gaza Strip. The author argues that although waste occurs from many causes, it is sometimes beyond the influence of the building firm and that material control starts at design stage, as the final design should allow for the effective handling and convenient manoeuvering of materials and components of preferred sizes during construction.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
