Greener construction can be possible in any construction industry when net-zero waste is achieved via sustainable practices. This study employs a state-of-art review to examine the potential of utilizing a dynamic BIM-aided waste management system in reducing/or eliminating waste throughout the construction life cycle, supply chain, and construction and demolition actions towards realizing net-zero cities. This study outlines the connection and applications of BIM-aided systems in construction and demolition waste management. The aim is to create a dynamic, life cycle BIM-aided waste management system that can effectively manage waste and advance net-zero construction. Throughout the construction life cycle, all relevant operations of the BIM-aided waste management system were indicated. Results from the planning phase show that BIM may be utilized to generate an effective schedule for material ordering, fabrication, and delivery of all building components. During the design phase, all modifications made to the building model are automatically updated. The 3D geometry can be used for project sequencing, take-offs, and integrated energy analysis throughout the procurement phase. Virtual construction modeling, which is particularly cost-effective, can be utilized during the construction phase, while BIM technology can be employed in the operation phase for maintenance scheduling, building system analysis, asset management, tracking and/or space management, and disaster planning. In conclusion, this study highlights the growing knowledge and utilization of BIM-aided waste management systems in construction, as well as how waste may be reduced to zero and then prevented by using a BIM-aided waste management system. As a result, utilizing the benefits invested in the process and design of a BIM-aided system should be need-based and in line with the general requirement for sustainability in any country's construction industry, since utilizing when there is no need is not productive overall.
