AB  - There are many material planning and control systems in use in the construction industry but general
focus has not been on the reduction of construction waste which adversely affects the environment. Creating
an environment friendly system should be able to make adequate use of the internet. The purpose of this study
is to develop an environment-friendly material planning and control system for managing construction
materials. The study used case diagrams and a MVC Model in designing the web-based platform for planning
and control of construction materials. The study revealed that using a web-based system assessed via. the
internet can help store building materials data thereby reducing the manual/paper-based system of planning
and controlling construction materials. The system been environmentally-friendly helps to reduce waste during
construction by ensuring the right calculation of quantities needed and delivery at the right time. In conclusion,
the web-based system reduces the need for stockpiling which would have unnecessarily put pressure
on the depletion of natural resources. The study recommended the high use of the internet to achieve an
environment-friendly system in managing the crucial nature of construction materials and processes in the
construction industry.
