Despite the volume of studies related to procurement waste management in Building construction industry locally and internationally. Wastage in building procurement still posesa severe hazard to both the construction professionals and the environment. To eliminate this, the study set to examines procurement waste management on building construction industry in southwestern, Nigeria, with a view of providing pertinent information necessary in lessening waste in building procurement industry.The study adopted questionnaire survey to elicit information from 264 built professional across (6) states in the study area, using tables to present the collected data and professional satisfactory index (PSI) to analyze the data collected. The study found that professional satisfactory index fell between ?disagree and ?not sure this translate that management support, staff knowledge, financial incentives/motivation, estimating/ordering practice, design issues, material Supply issues, material storage practice may not reduce the scourge of procurement waste in Building construction in within the study area. This study suggested that site workers, technician and craft men should be educated of every management decision concerning procurement waste management plan development across building construction project in southwestern Nigeria.
