MATERIALS MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ON CONSTRUCTION SITE. (A CASE STUDY OF SELECTED CONSTRUCTION SITES IN KWARA STATE)
Abstract
ABSTRACT
The current economic crisis has widened the gap between resources requirements to meet planned goals and the projected availability of funds for construction projects. Ineffective materials management has become a source of problem to successful construction project management, because materials take about 65 percent of the total cost of a construction project. In this study, fifty construction professionals provided the data on materials management in construction industry using Kwara state as the sampling site. Questionnaires shall be used to collect data from three main groups of project participants. (clients, consultants and contractors). The critical factors of materials management will be summarized into five basic variables namely materials planning, material procurement, material handling, material storage and material usage. Basic questions shall be asked on each and the numerical summation of the ratings of a respondent will form the observed value for the variable for that particular respondent. The same shall be done for the assessment of the state materials management as applicable to construction industry in Nigeria, which will form the dependent variable Y. The summary of the field data shall be subjected to statistical analysis
