The construction industry, although essential for economic development, is responsible for significant waste production that impacts the environment and natural resources. In this context, this study proposes the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Revit software, the visual programming interface Dynamo, and the Python programming language to quantify construction waste in a detailed and effective manner. The highlight lies in the development of an algorithm that covers all construction elements, both in the construction and demolition phases. Automation and adaptability enhance efficiency and accuracy, providing the algorithm with the flexibility needed to adapt to different contexts in the construction industry. The results reveal benefits such as time savings, reduction of manual errors, and customization for specific requirements. By integrating theoretical knowledge, technology, and automation, this study represents a significant step towards effective and sustainable management of construction waste. The study not only enriches the academic environment but also inspires the industry to adopt innovative methods, promoting more sustainable and efficient practices. As a suggestion to overcome possible challenges, complete automation of the process and exploration of emerging technologies are proposed for future research.
