Abstract:
Effective construction resources management process is a key to success of a construction project. Nowadays, successful material management of construction has to be based on and updated information and processed utilizing a well-designed material management system.The aim of the thesis is to explore the local practice in construction material management and develop a material management system to facilitate the management of construction material mainly in the building construction. Construction management related literature was generally reviewed; meanwhile some material management techniques have been reviewed also. A survey questionnaire supported by interviews was used to explore the local practice in material management. The thesis considers the management of materials in building construction projects. In this study, construction material management can be viewed as three categories which are measures for effective material management in building sites, factors that increase waste in building sites and problems related with material management. The principal tool used for collection of data is questionnaires for field survey. Data for the study are obtained through a structured questionnaire administered to respondents in number of 43. The respondents involve project engineers, site engineers and contractors. The data are analysed by the use of Relative Importance Index (RII). The overall results of this study indicate that the current practices of material management in local construction projects need systematic and effective control. Based on the findings of agreement analysis, it is found that the perceptions of three respondents (project engineers, site engineers and contractors) are identical in all three cases; measures for effective material management, factors increasing waste in building construction projects and problems related with material management. Hence, it is said that all of project engineers, site engineers and contractors are mainly concerned with material management and their roles and decisions are essential to improve effective material management. Moreover, all the results of this study are undoubtedly accepted to be important because of identical perceptions of three respondents.
