Abstract

Rehabilitation projects, such as those at the Faculty of Engineering of Syiah Kuala University, tend to generate more waste due to demolition activities and the integration of old and new materials. Although waste management has been widely studied in new construction projects, research on rehabilitation projects especially in the context of educational infrastructure in Indonesia remains limited. This study addresses this gap by identifying the key factors causing waste materials in the Faculty of Engineering Building Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project and formulating practical strategies to mitigate them, thereby contributing to improved efficiency and sustainability. The construction waste reviewed covers demolition (mortar, wood, pipes, electrical cables) and construction stages (mortar, wood, paint, pipes, electrical cables, and others). A mixed-method approach was applied using questionnaires, observations, and interviews with 30 stakeholders, analyzed through descriptive statistics and SWOT analysis. Results indicate that waste is primarily caused by six factors: implementation, design, residual, material handling, material procurement, and others, with implementation being the most dominant. To address these issues, seven strategies were proposed, including strengthening workforce competency, enhancing coordination and planning, optimizing procurement processes, improving material handling and storage, and integrating tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM). These findings provide both theoretical contributions and actionable recommendations for reducing waste in rehabilitation projects.
