In the fast-paced construction industry an effective supply chain for materials is crucial for managing timelines, controlling costs and ensuring project success.
The construction supply chain is complex, involving multiple people related components – Manufacturers creating finished goods, such as steel beams; Suppliers providing raw materials and equipment; Contractors managing the construction process and identifying the resources required; Subcontractors responsible for specific tasks within the construction project e.g carpenters, electricians etc; Project Managers responsible for ensuring objectives, budgets, timelines are met. This means coordination of all parties to ensure building materials, equipment and resources are available when needed.
