ABSTRACT
The development progress in construction industries have the great effects to the environmental especially in
environmental change and waste produced. One of the causes of the construction waste is natural resources use exceeding
what is required in construction process. Construction material waste refers to the materials from the construction location
that cannot be used for construction purposes and must be removed for any reasons.In the implementation of a building
construction project, it can be avoided the residual of construction material or commonlycalled construction waste.Beside
effects on the cost, construction waste also affects to the environmental. This research aims to determine the type and
quantity of dominant construction waste that is raised in construction project and analyzes the impact to the
environmental.The location of this case study is DPU Banda Aceh Office Advanced Construction Project in Aceh
Province. The methods used for data collection are field observation and interview. Data analysis using quantitative
analysis examined descriptively.The results of the research mention that the screw steel reinforcement become the highest
of the waste material found during the project construction which is 39.78% or Rp. 12,848,928.99. The dominant factors of
the waste material are scattered/mixed with the soil, flow with the rainy, concrete waste still available in the mixer truck,
less optimal of cutting process and lost due to the careless storage.

INTRODUCTION
Aceh Province still keeps on improving the area toward green city. The realization of this condition is not only to
green the city but also to have more extensive activities.
One of the activities is the achievement of environmental friendly city by reducing the construction waste or waste
material.
Construction project activity is long process activity in which we can find many problems and constraints during
the implementation. The most common problem is waste material in construction project implementation.
The materials have the important roles in supporting the success of sustainable project development. Material
procurement can absorbconsiderable cost of the total project cost. Therefore the material use is managed to be the most
minimum to avoid any waste materials.
The materials become the main resources in the project implementation. Material procurement and allocation
must be adjusted with the schedule determined. The delay of the material procurement will obstruct construction
implementation process so that the work can not be finished on time. While excessive material procurement is also
