    The construction sector plays a crucial and immediate role in the advancement and wealth of civilizations. Nevertheless, rapid population growth, along with extensive development of infrastructure and building projects to meet diverse living standards, has accumulated substantial quantities of construction debris. Renovation plays a crucial role in the process of urbanization in Iraq; it is now a widespread practice in the country, particularly in the remodeling of government buildings in the education sector, to address the increasing demand caused by population increase. Construction, renovation, remodeling, refurbishing, and demolition activities produce significant quantities of hazardous and non-hazardous waste materials that might impact the natural environment and the general population. The current study aims to establish the factors that lead to the increase of waste in renovation projects in the education sector of Iraq, to calculate its percentage and cost, and to build a mathematical model that estimates the cost using a Support Vector Machine. The research commences with a thorough review of the literature to determine the possible factors affecting waste for renovation projects in Iraq. A survey was carried out to investigate the views of the supervising engineers, the owners, consultants, and contractors working in the public and private sectors in Iraq; the objective is to determine the main factors that impact waste construction in Iraq. Historical data on the percentage and cost of waste for basic materials in renovation projects were obtained from companies working in both the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Ministry of Education. The database consists of (30) completed projects. Six input parameters were used to build the SVM model. These inputs are Cement waste percentage (CE%), Sand waste percentage (SA%), Gravel waste percentage (GR%), BRC waste percentage (BR%), Mosaic tile waste percentage (MT%), and Cement Plastering waste percentage (CP%). The developed estimation equation demonstrates a degree of average accuracy of (84.466%), with the coefficient of determination (R2) (97.2%).
