Material Reconciliation
We use material reconciliation to analyze and verify ingredients at the end of a production process. It allows you to compare the material quantity that actually flowed in with the planned quantity or the quantity of the material produced. With respect to this topic, it is the process of ensuring that the standard and actual data agree after taking into consideration the data relating to the variances. Reconcile = Getting two things to correspond/agree
Why? Reconciliation
To have a account of actual consumption of Materials. Control of Wastage Consumption. or Excess Material
To know the measures to be taken to minimize wastage as we can know area where wastage is more than norms to the extent possible and hence we can save cost on account of wastage.
Control of Wastage
What is Waste; Waste is defined as any material by product of human and industrial activity that has no residual value. However this is not true for the construction waste, since it has a residual value.
Construction Waste
products generated and removed from construction, renovation and demolition at work places or sites of building and civil engineering structures.
Construction Waste
Construction uses many materials extracted from deposit in the earths crust. Some of these materials are directly used at site, few after simple processing and others are prone to complex manufacturing processes. It is found that the construction industry is a large consumer of energy intensive manufactured materials such as iron, steel, copper, glass, synthetic materials, cement etc., But the construction industry produces considerable amount of solid waste which is avoidable. Generally, it is noted that the wastage of materials in most of the construction sites are beyond acceptable limits.
Natural Waste
Natural Waste to a certain extent is inevitable on building Sites. Direct Waste, can be prevented and involves the actual loss.
Transit waste
Transit waste occurs with brittle materials during transportation and placing materials into the initial storage. Cutting waste occurs when materials cut into various sizes and uneconomical shapes. Application waste occurs with most wet building materials. Residue waste occurs with materials normally delivered in containers. Waste occurs when completely not used and when not properly sealed.
Bricks Tiles Glazing Roofing sheets Plywood Formwork Tiles Plaster Paint, Glue Paint Glue

Stockpile waste
Occurs when most loose Sand materials are dispersed on the Cause aggregate site because of poor storage. Occurs due vandalism. to theft and Tiles, Cement bags Sundry items
Criminal waste
Waste caused by Occurs due to succeeding Damages to walls other trades such as plumbing, plaster etc. trades electrical, etc. Management waste Waste due to wrong use Occurs due to lack of Throwing away excess supervision or incorrect materials decisions of the management. Occurs due to wrong selection Rejection of inferior
Indirect Waste
Indirect waste is also known as cost waste. Indirect waste is distinguished from direct waste by the fact that, materials are not lost physically, but indirectly.
Substitution waste
Occurs due to the substitution of materials. Either contractor or client will loose. When considering the cost of transport, delays to work and inconvenience of obtaining correct material, it is often more cost effective to use an available, expensive material than to that cheaper material to be used as specifications. But consequential cost may arise if the specifications are not met.
Use of high strength concrete instead of weak mix. Use of facing bricks instead of common bricks.
Production waste
Occurs when contractor does Use of extra plastering not receive any payments for to rectify the uneven the works he has carried out. surfaces of the brick walls

Operational waste
Occurs due to the Left form work unavailability of proper quantities in the contract document and when the materials are left in the building.
Occurs when more materials Use of extra concrete are used than specified, due to when over excavate. the use of unfit machineries etc.
Negligence waste
If waste is created, identify ways you can reuse the materials. Finally, if materials cannot be reused then collect them to recycle. Only dispose of waste as a last resort.

Three formats Table-A, Table-B, Table-C are used for estimating wastages / material reconciliation of above construction materials and Two formats for Structural Steel and Reinforcement.
