Abstract
The construction industry is one of the traditional and non-environmentally friendly industries which provide one of the basic needs of human that is shelter. The industry generates construction waste which impacts environment in the form of soil contamination, water contamination, and deterioration of landscape. The excessive wastage of materials, improper management on site and low awareness of the need for waste reduction are common in the construction sites in India. However, in order to mitigate waste, construction managers have to explore management options, which include reduction, recycling, and disposal of wastes. Reduction has the highest priority among the waste management options but efficient reduction cannot be achieved without adequate identification of the sources of waste. The construction industry which supplements the second largest job in India after agriculture industry is also generates construction waste which impacts environment in the form of soil contamination, water contamination, and deterioration of landscape. It is well well-known fact that most railway construction projects showing the delay in timeline or cost overrun or both of them. This phenomenon may distress the progress of infrastructure in the country as well as may risk many contracting firms profit margin. This study was supported out based on literature review to understand the delay and cost overrun in metro projects.
