To achieve this, a field survey was carried out in which data collection was developed through administration of questionnaires and 50 questionnaires were administered applied in case studies carried out on selected construction sites in Lagos state, Nigeria.

It was concluded that wastage of materials will occur variously on the site from different sources at a corresponding degree, wastage level is higher during construction and employment of professionals to helps in minimize wastage of materials. It was recommended that waste management should be incorporated into the course study of building and civil engineering students in various higher institutions. A significant change in the level of technological development should be the priority of the government and the Nigerian building construction and employment of professional will reduce wastage in the building construction industry. Adequate control (both pre-action and post-action) measures should be ensured so that materials schedule is strictly adhered. Keywords: Construction, Management, Materials, Professionals and Waste
