Dissertation note: Project Paper (Bachelor Degree in Civil Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang – 2018 Abstract: Malaysia nowadays is develop at steady pace, because of that increasing in development in Malaysia is predictable. Because of the rapid development in construction industry, construction waste becomes a major problem for contractor and environment. This can be proving with newspaper clippings issued by the newspaper 'The Star'. Therefore, this study is to highlight contractor‟s perception on various construction waste materials and major environment concerns cause by this construction waste.
