| Abstract | ||
| The issue of construction and demolition (C&D) waste continues to escalate, posing significant environmental and economic challenges. Accurate assessment of this waste is crucial for effective management and promoting sustainability. As construction activities increase, the demand for robust estimation techniques becomes more pressing to enhance resource utilization and inform policy-making. Several methodologies have been introduced for C&D waste estimation, including direct measurement, material flow assessments, predictive models, and advanced digital solutions such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and artificial intelligence. Each approach has distinct advantages and constraints, with its applicability influenced by project-specific factors, regional policies, and data accessibility. This study systematically examines these estimation methods, evaluating their effectiveness in different scenarios. Furthermore, it explores key obstacles such as data reliability, standardization issues, and practical implementation challenges, while also highlighting potential avenues for future research. By synthesizing current advancements, this review contributes to refining waste estimation techniques, ultimately fostering more sustainable and efficient construction practices. | ||
