| Abstract: | Structural design process (SDP) consists of three processes of inception; preliminary design and detail design. Each of these processes is laden with waste that adversely affect project performance. Therefore, this study seeks to identify such wastes so as to develop a mechanism for its effective management. To achieve this, action research study was conducted in some consulting engineering firms situated in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The outcomes of the research provides the platform for the development of a suitable mechanism for reduction/elimination of waste in the structural design process in the future study by the researchers.
