QUESTIONNAIRE FORM

STUDY ON CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT DURING DESIGN PHASE

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I would like to invite you to participate in the research as stated above.

The purpose of the questionnaire is to collect data for the above final year research project.

The objectives of this questionnaire are:

1. To identify the factor that cause construction waste during design phase
2. To suggest better solution to solve the problem about construction waste during
design phase.

The questionnaire consists of THREE (3) sections:

Section A: Respondents Background

Section B: Factors that generate construction waste during design phase

Section C: Solutions to solve the problem about construction waste during design phase

All information given will be kept with utmost confidentially and it is for education purpose
only. Your cooperation and time will be highly appreciated in completing this questionnaire.
