Many studies have developed technologies intended to automate the process toward improving sustainability and achieving a circular economy in the construction industry. Despite some research works that have been recently conducted to help construction agents in the management of construction and demolition waste (CDW), developing new CDW monitoring and traceability tools—through a collaborative and integrative approach—is still an urgent challenge. This paper developed a hybrid mobile app for the real-time traceability of construction waste generation and management, where agents involved in CDW management can work together and trace the generation and management of waste. For this, a research method was developed following three stages: (1) planning and design, including identification of the information to be incorporated in the app and the output data; (2) development of the app; and (3) app testing by several construction agents, stressing the benefits and limitations. The developed app allows not only estimating but also tracing the amount of CDW generated in a construction project, ensuring the correct management and control of the waste. In addition, it promotes collaborative work, as the agents involved in CDW management, i.e., construction companies, site managers, truck drivers, waste managers, and management plants, can work together and see in real-time the management of the waste.

The rapid increase in global urbanization, along with the growth of the construction industry, highlights the urgent need for effective management of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. Intelligent technologies offer a viable solution to this critical challenge. However, there remains a significant challenge in integrating these technologies into a cohesive framework. This study conducts a quantitative analysis of 214 papers from 2000 to 2023, highlighting the extensive use of artificial intelligence (AI) and building information modeling (BIM), along with geographic information systems (GIS) and big data (BD). A further qualitative analysis of 73 selected papers investigates the use of seven different intelligent technologies in the context of C&D waste management (CDWM). To overcome current limitations in knowledge, future research should concentrate on (1) the comprehensive integration of technology, (2) inclusive studies throughout all lifecycle phases of CDWM, and (3) the continued examination of new technologies, such as blockchain. Based on these insights, this study suggests a strategic framework for the effective implementation of intelligent technologies in CDWM. This framework aims to assist professionals in merging various technologies, undertaking lifecycle-wide research, and narrowing the divide between existing and new technologies. It also lays a solid foundation for future academic work to examine specific intelligent technologies, conduct comparative studies, and refine strategic decisions. Regular updates on technological developments are essential for stakeholders to consistently enhance CDWM standards.
