Construction is a main sector of the national economy that faces liable problems regarding wastes in the building materials. Part of the problem sterns from the long-held awareness among contractors that waste is not considered worthless as long as the contractor can sell it to waste dealers for any cost at the end of the work. A few data from the previous researchers are available within the reach of project managers to avoid the causes of waste generated during construction processes. Interviews, site visits and literature reviews that are related to the construction industry will revealed a few documented database from previous researchers are available. Nowadays, there are many waste materials in construction site that are not manage properly. Waste materials are unwanted or unusable materials. The effects of waste materials in construction site towards human being and environment are detrimental. Contractor or site engineer are still lack of knowledge about which method are appropriate to reduce excess concrete in construction site. Waste materials in construction site can affect our environment and produce pollution. Furthermore, economic of developer become non effective since there are many waste that need to be manage. So, the marketing strategy in industry also become unproductive. This also can enhance the economics of our country drop drastically. Aims of this study is to compare the most effectiveness to reduce excess concrete between recycle, reuse and reduce in construction site. All the data and information are collected by industrial visit, questionnaire survey and interview. Relative Importance Indices (RII) will be utilized to analyze the data gather from questionnaires survey that had been distributed towards contractor grade 7 in construction site. From the result and data analysis, recycle is the most effective way to reduce excess concrete between recycle, reuse and reduce in construction site. As a conclusion, recycle is the most effective way to reduce excess concrete between recycle, reuse and reduce in construction site.
