AB  - The study examines how integrating Industry 6.0 concepts with Lean Construction (LC) principles can enhance efficiency and minimise Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) in the construction industry. Industry 6.0 concepts emphasise deep human–machine collaboration, high levels of automation, and quantum cloud-connected systems. Construction procedures can become more efficient and value-driven by adopting LC techniques that prioritise identifying client value, minimise waste, ensure efficient workflows, and promote continuous improvement. A quantitative study approach was adopted, and the perspectives of 260 construction professionals and academics were gathered to rank the current CDW minimisation practices in Zimbabwe. The advantages of using LC and Construction 6.0-based strategies included reduced CDW, increased project time, reduced costs, and enhanced collaboration. Based on the findings, the study recommends adopting LC and Construction 6.0-based strategies to minimise CDW.
