4.2 FIELD OBSERVATION
On the other hand, an observational method is employed to measure the required data in six
under construction projects by the aid of a worksheet that is shown in Fig. (1).
The stream line movement of materials once it is delivered the work site until being used and
built in its final position is intensively tracked and measured. Several factors that usually cause
construction materials waste in local construction industry are studied in an attempt to discover their
influences. The construction materials streamline flowchart is illustrated in Fig. (2).
At the storage phase, many factors can cause more construction materials waste.
Inappropriate storing, ineffective control, poor organization, and hasty work are some of them. At
