Material waste in industrial facilities can arise at the interfaces between mechanical equipment, service routes, supporting structures, installation, maintenance, and dismantling. This exploratory study develops an expert-informed framework that maps potential waste drivers to Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination and lean planning decisions. A literature review identified 35 candidate drivers, which were consolidated into 23 questionnaire factors covering design, construction, operation and maintenance, and demolition. Twenty expert responses were obtained, of which 14 were retained in the reported analysis. The resulting factors provide a preliminary checklist for examining issues such as equipment access, component selection, service coordination, material handling, and design for disassembly. An illustrative mechanical equipment and pipe-routing scenario shows how BIM information and lean work planning could be used to address these risks. The study does not measure discarded material or test whether the proposed approach reduces waste. Its interpretation is limited by the small, retained panel, unavailable item-level rankings, and uncertainty about the units used in parts of the statistical analysis. Validation requires project-level records of material quantities, returns, discarded mass, and rework.
