Although in Colombia there have been advances in the management of waste from construction activities, in cities such as Villavicencio, there are no in-depth studies about their generation and management. Therefore, the objective of this article is to identify the current state, barriers and instruments that could help improve the management of construction and demolition waste in this city. To carry out the study the observation and analysis method, and the type of descriptive study, was used. In order to obtain the information, it was necessary to make visits and surveys to construction companies. Subsequently the information collected was examined through the multi-attribute analysis and the statistical software SSPS. As result it go that the excavation lands and the concrete are the most generated waste in the construction activities. As measure to reduce waste and improve its management, companies gave greater importance to the prevention stage. The lack of environmental awareness and control in compliance with the legislation were the main barriers detected. Tax incentives were considered as relevant instruments for management.
