<b>Solid construction waste management in large civil construction companies through use of specific software - case study

In the current construction market there is a high demand for sustainability. In addition to that the Brazilian government is enacting tougher and tougher legislation on the disposal of solid construction waste. These demands increasingly make the construction company responsible for the entire life...
