I have a situation not too unlike the first question raised above. I have a core and shell project and a CI project within same building whose schedules overlap. Valerie Walsh's response is similar to the logic that we hope to implement, because dumpster staging is limited and seems wasteful to have duplicate dumpsters for tracking purposes alone. Can you elaborate on how you established % of waste stream for your project in the example? We considered evaluating the schedule of values for common materials to determine %s, but we could find a few flaws with that related to schedule (unless we come up with a multiplier for % complete?). We are also considering using daily construction activity reports as gauge.
We obviously need to make sure that our documentation methodology is sound before we commit to the process. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

We took the total amount of the waste stream for the entire retail re-development project and attributed a % to our LEED supermarket project based upon our building and site areas relative to the whole development which consisted of 800,000 sf of retail on a 62-acre site.
I am not sure if that translates to your situation. Depending on the project, core and shell materials can be greater in quantity and/or weight than those of a CI project, but that varies with scope of course.

Kathy, have you received credit for your projects yet?
I also have a CS and a CI project within the same building with overlapping time schedules. I might even have two CI projects in the building before we’re done. How can I separate the waste? There is no way to have different dumpsters for different projects (and make construction workers separate CS and CI waste!). Can I make a reasonable assumption and argument on how much waste that comes from each project? Our company’s goal is to keep 95 % of waste out of landfill, both CS and CI. Anyone else have experience?
