Keywords:
Construction Materials Management, Construction Site, Material Management, Project CostAbstract
This research work is on the analysis of factors affecting effective materials management in building construction projects. Having the right materials in the right place at the right time is important for effective execution of a building project. This study is carried out to fill the voids created by the improper material management on construction sites. Materials constitute over 70% of the project cost and may affect overall project cost if not managed properly. The study describes the case study of nine different small, large & medium firms in Gujarat. By studying gathered data factors were found out affecting material management. It was recommended that organizations should incorporate materials management in the overall policy of the firms in order to eliminate some of these problems.
