CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION:
Construction management is a professional service that provides a project’s owner(s) with
effective management of the project's schedule, cost, quality, safety, scope, and function.
Construction management is compatible with all project delivery methods. No matter the
setting, a Construction Manager’s (CMs) responsibility is to the owner and to a successful
project.
Materials management is a process for planning, executing and controlling field and office
activities in construction. The goal of materials management is to insure that construction
materials are available at their point of use when needed. The materials management system
attempts to insure that the right quality and quantity of materials are appropriately selected,
purchased, delivered and handled on site in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Materials
management is the system for planning and controlling all of the efforts necessary to ensure
that the correct quality and quantity of materials are properly specified in a timely manner, are
obtained at a reasonable cost and most importantly are available at the point of use when
required. Thus Materials management is an important element in project management.
Materials represent a major expense in construction, so minimizing procurement costs
improves opportunities for reducing the overall project costs. Poor materials management can
result in increased costs during construction. Efficient management of materials can result in
substantial savings in project costs. If materials are purchased too early, capital may be held up
and interest charges incurred on the excess inventory of materials. Materials may deteriorate
during storage or get stolen unless special care is taken. Delays and extras expenses may be
incurred if materials required for particular activities are unavailable. Ensuring a timely flow of
materials is an important concern of material management. For effectively managing and
controlling materials, the performance of materials management should be measured. A
performance measure calculates the effective working of a function. These performance
measures may differ from system to system. The measures divide the materials management
system in parts and make the working of the system more efficient. When joined, the measures
make the complete materials management system. [ CITATION IJC18 \l 16393 ]

CHAPTER 3. LITERATURE STUDY

Literature study
What is construction management?
Construction Management is the process of planning, coordinating and providing monitoring

and controlling of a construction project. The stages are design, pre-construction, procurement,
build, and owner occupancy. Construction Management (CM) is a professional service that
uses specialized, project management techniques to oversee the planning, design, and
construction of a project, from its beginning to its end. Construction Management is both an art
and a science, and is something that is usually quite hard to do. It is hard because one has to
look at a broad range of variables, and try and guess what effect each variable will have on a
construction project. For example, a construction manager in the middle of a project will have
to take into account the following,
i. The availability of construction workers who may be sick or may not feel like
showing up for work,
ii. The fact that some materials are out of stock just when they are needed,
iii. The availability or non-availability of key equipment like cranes,
iv. Changes made to the existing design by architects and clients the previous
evening,
v. Juggling the work of 20 or more different trades at the same time,
vi. Surprise discoveries of electrical cables below the ground that no-one knew
about,
vii. Inspections and permitting delays by government authorities
It is the inter-relationships between all many variables and the effect they will have on the
project that creates complexity in construction management. Compounding these problems is
the team from the owners of the building, who often sits in plush offices far from the
construction site, have little understanding of the difficulties in building construction, and
demand that the project be finished before time. It is these difficulties that make it both
extremely challenging, as well as extremely rewarding if done right. Construction management
is best done by people with a detailed knowledge of building construction, such as civil
engineers or architects. However some aspects of this work, such as financial planning or
procurement, can be done by people who do not have a construction background. With enough
training and experience, a layman can gain enough expertise to work as a construction project
manager. Construction management can be performed by different agencies in a project. It can
be done by the contractors working on the project, by the owners of the project, by independent
consultants hired by the owners, by the designers of the project, or by the investors in a project.
It is important to note that each agency may have differing aims and motivations in a project.
For example, a contractor may want to increase the costs of the building, and an owner may
want to decrease it.

Parameter affecting construction management

Site selection
A proper site selection is one of the most important steps before beginning construction works.
The contractor or civil engineer should consider key factors affecting when selecting a site. Site
selection of a building should be done based upon some surveys of various aspects of the site
such as the development of the site, cost, the stability of the proposed structure, and type of
construction project, for example industrial, commercial or residential building.
Three main categories of factors provide influence to the site selection and layout process.
a. Natural Factors
Geology, terrain, hydrology, wetlands, soils, delicate ecologies, climate,etc.
b. Man-made Factors or Cultural Factors
Existing surrounding land use, traffic & transit, zoning, other regulations, utilities,
historical & cultural sites, hazardous materials, etc.
c. Aesthetic Factors
Natural features, spatial patterns, etc.
Following general factors must be taken account while selecting a site for any type of building
construction.
Purpose of Building
i. Government Laws
ii. Shape & Size
iii. Terrain Condition
iv. Type of Ground Soil
v. Natural Light & Air
vi. Environmental Condition
vii. Legal & Financial Aspects
Site development
Site Development is the implementation of the improvements that are needed to prepare a
construction site or underlay a structure or development before construction can begin. Site
development covers a range of activities that are defined by the design of a project.
Design parameters :
Design parameters relate to quantitative and qualitative aspects of projects. This category
includes four factors: architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical design parameters.
Earthquake zoning, soil bearing capacity.

Design considerations :
Design considerations should be taken into account at the time of designing a building. These
include design period, maintenance, future extensions, and weather considerations.
Design process :
Design process pertains to steps which are to be followed in sequence to attain the final design.
It includes user inputs, preparation of design intent, conceptual design alternatives, design
quality control, and design standardization.
Design improvisation :
Design improvisation is a set of related techniques that aids in invention, testing, and
development of interaction and in the end improves the service level. It generally employs
methods used previously in the design context to address the problem areas. It includes inputs
from material suppliers, creativity, and design standardization.
Strategies of construction
Construction Management Strategies – Communication
Since construction projects are large in scope, there are many stakeholders involved. These
stakeholders include, but are not limited to: designers, architects, contractors and
subcontractors, vendors, site planners, building owners, and those in the community. Because
so many are involved in various stages of the construction project, effective communication is
important.
Effective and timely communication with the project team is important to advise of budget and
schedule constraints, design changes and progress. The client’s also require regular updates on
the project’s progress. Because of that it is important that the construction team meets at
scheduled intervals during the project to keep everyone in the know regarding any current or
foreseen changes in any area of the project.
The construction of a building not only involves those directly associated with its construction,
but can also impact those in the community. As stewards of the community, it is also important
to communicate to those effected. This can be done by posting signs, holding press
conferences, and keeping the area properly fenced off to keep pedestrians from entering the
site.
Effective communication is a critical strategy when completing a construction project and

should not be taken for granted. In fact, ineffective communication during construction projects
can have serious effects on the progress of the construction project, such as:

• Material and equipment delays
• Shortage of labor
• Inability to stay on budget
• Delay in the project completion
• Need for rework
Construction Management Strategies – Assessment
The construction manager is able to assess various aspects of the construction process by being
onsite supervising the work. The real time assessment allows for the construction manager to
make any needed adjustments to keep the project on schedule, as well as on budget. The
construction manager is also able to assess demands that can cause delays or budget increases
and either communicate needs or make adjustments to counteract the demands. A thorough
assessment of the work is also needed to ensure quality. Each of these areas can be done onsite
by the construction manager to help keep the project going smoothly.
Construction Management Strategies – Monitoring
During the entirety of the construction project monitoring is important to keep in line with the
project’s budget and timeline. These two aspects of the project are what is most important to
the client who may have obligations to uphold that are tied to the timely completion of the
project. While the construction manager can be onsite to supervise the construction, it is often
necessary to use tools, such as construction management software to keep accurate records of
the costs and scheduling demands. The use of a software system can help to provide the client a
comprehensive and complete picture up to the minute. In addition, it can alert the construction
manager of any demands that may cause the project to be delayed or to go over budget.
Because construction projects have hundreds of moving parts, a system that can help
consolidate those parts is invaluable to freeing up the construction managers time and allowing
him or her to make effective decisions while the project is in motion.
Role and responsibility of the construction manager:
Analyze and ensure compliance to all construction contract schedules and prepare all
documents for construction management and provide support to all services and prepare final
documents at project completion.
Coordinate with contractors and consultants and evaluate all proposals and administer all civil
transportation projects and supervise efficient working of all project staff and ensure
compliance to all design specifications.

Coordinate with company personnel and clients to resolve all project issues and administer and
provide response to all requests and evaluate compliance to all plans and specifications for
construction projects.
Design and implement strategies of contractors and design all project schedule and
requirements and develop estimates for all change orders and perform regular tests on all
construction activities.
Supervise efficient working of all construction specifications and ensure compliance to all
record drawings and monitor monthly payment to contractors.
Collaborate with design team and ensure accuracy of all documents and maintain cost control
on all projects and maintain quality at all times.
Administer efficient working of all field staff and participate in all meetings with contracts and
evaluate progress on regular basis.
Assist construction team to perform all tests on commissioning projects and participate in all
project schedule and prepare required costs for same and ensure approval of all personnel
transactions.
1. What is construction material, store, and inventory control and technology

management?
a. Construction material management
Material management is defined as the process to provide right material at right place at right
time in right quantity so as to minimize the cost of project. Material management is concerned
with the planning, identification, procuring, storage, receiving and distribution of material. The
responsibility of Material management department for the flow of material from the time the
material is ordered, received, and stored until they are used is the basic responsibility of
material management. The main goal of material management is to ensure that the materials are
available at their point of use when needed hence, efficient procurement of material represents
a key role in the successful completion of the work. In order to make materials management on
site effective for fast-track projects there needs to be an integrated material handling process
from the design stage to the usage of materials. Three important phases that holds the key to a
successful materials management are materials purchasing, materials usage, and storage .It is
used to reduce the cost, which increases profitability and streamlines the production. Apart
from management of material cost and its supply it helps in its proper utilization,
transportation, storage, handling and distribution.

b. Stores and Inventory management
This involves physical control of materials, preservation of stores, minimization of

obsolescence and damage through timely disposal and efficient handling, maintenance of stores
records, proper location and stocking. Stores is also responsible for the physical verification of
stocks and reconciling them with book figures.
The inventory control covers aspects such as setting inventory levels, ABC analysis, fixing
economic ordering quantities, setting safety stock levels, lead time analysis and reporting.
c. Technology management
Decisions to use of sophisticated construction tools and technologically advanced machinery

for improving the quality of construction, or for increasing the speed of construction, or for
economizing the cost of construction, is essentially the prerogative of the Contractor / Builder.
Procurement, deployment and efficient use of construction machinery, along with the
employment of skilled manpower required to use and operate such machinery becomes an
important activity in technology management.
2. Factors affecting construction material, store, inventory control and technology

management?
a. Factors affecting construction material management
Organization Structure the coordination and communication between estimating department,

research and development department, purchasing department, and plant and machineries
department should be maintained at highest level Main issues in organization structure:
 Undefined scope
 Lack of communication between parties involved
 Incomplete drawings Plans are not completed and details are missing
 Lack of conformance to requirements
 Nonstandard specifications that are not commonly used
 Incomplete / ineffective meetings
 Difference between plans and specifications
 Don’t communicate exactly

b. Factors affecting construction material storage management

 Large number of materials is required depending on the magnitude of the project.
 And the term storage space implies both enclosed and open space that can be used to
keep materials of work safe until the need for it arise.
 All materials need protection against many threats such as pilferage, theft, damage or
loss. Material such as aggregates, bricks/blocks may not require enclosed storage
protection than proper outdoor positioning and stacking. However, other materials such
as reinforcement bars, steel columns, timber, and galvanized steel for trusses must be
protected against contact with water in order to avoid rust/corrosion.
 The size of proposed building may occupy 60% of the total project site, enabling the
remaining 40% to be used for temporary access and site facilities. In such case, the
planners must arrange for periodic delivery of certain materials to avoid cluttering the
space, and maintain constant operation.
c. Factors affecting on inventory control management
 Availability of material
 Availability of quantity
 Price reduction to match competitor’s price
 Late deliveries Materials are not delivered as per schedule
 Late or incorrect submittals
 Poor communication between parties
 Lack of conformance to requirements
 Unrealistic delivery dates
 Re handling of materials
 Storage areas are limited or are far from working area
 Theft or damaging during handling or other conditions

CHAPTER 4. DATA COLLECTION

DATA COLLECTION
Material management can be defined as a process that coordinates planning, assessing the
requirement, sourcing, purchasing, transporting, storing and controlling of materials,
minimizing the wastage and optimizing the profitability by reducing cost of material. Building
materials account for 60 to 70 percent of direct cost of a project or facility, the remaining 30
to40 percent being the labour cost.
Process of material management
Material management is concerned with material planning, market research for purchase,
procurement of material and purchasing, receiving, store keeping , warehousing, inventory
control, packaging and packing of material, materials movement, disposal of scrap, surplus and
obsolete materials.
Figure : 1
Process of material management

Site layout planning
The site layout planning. Extensive time loss and cost overruns could result in large projects,
where the number of manpower, subcontractors, and equipment involved are high, if there is no
effective and systematic approach to site planning. A detailed planning of the site layout and
location of temporary facilities can enable the management to make considerable improvement
by minimizing travel time, waiting time, and increasing worker morale by showing better and
safer work environment. There are two general objectives which planners should seek to meet
through careful organization of the site for construction.
First, the site must be designed to maximize efficiency of operations in order to promote
worker productivity, to shorten project time and to reduce cost.
Second, the final plan must create a project with a good work environment in order to attract
and retain the best personnel and thus contribute to better work quality and productivity.
Material Planning
• Materials planning include measuring, ordering and scheduling. It is emphasized that planning
is a very important process to increase the productivity, profit, and assisting the time to
complete the construction projects.
• The productivity of the construction project will be hanged if the material planning process is
not implemented properly.
Purchasing
Purchase the materials and have the services from supplier to get the support of operations as
the construction project from production to marketing, sales and logistics. For examples, a
detailed material list and coordination of the purchasing and order of material are significant to
assuring the material will available on construction site.
Points to be Considered While Purchasing Materials
i. Proper specification of materials.

ii. Invite quotations from reputed firms
iii. Comparison of offers based on basic price, freight & insurance, taxes and levies
iv. Quantity & payment discounts
v. Payment terms
vi. Delivery period, guarantee
vii. Vendor reputation (reliability, technical capabilities, convenience, availability, after-
sales service, sales assistance)
viii. Short listing for better negotiation terms

Storage
 Large number of materials is required depending on the magnitude of the project. And
the term storage space implies both enclosed and open space that can be used to keep
materials of work safe until the need for it arise.
 All materials need protection against many threats such as pilferage, theft, damage or
 The size of proposed building may occupy 60% of the total project site, enabling the
space, and maintain constant operation.
Inventory control department:
The duties of the inventory control department is to decide about the types of ordering system,
fixing the safety stock limits, fixing up the reorder level & maximum / minimum stock level.
Technologies in construction Material Management
The tools used in the construction industry change constantly with the continuous changes of
technology. Researchers are finding ways to apply those changes in technology to construction
in order to improve production and lower the cost of the operations.
Receiving, inspection and despatching department
The responsibility of Receiving, inspection and despatching department is to receive the

materials when delivered by the suppliers. After receiving it, the quantity and quality must be
checked. Production parts and materials are checked against blueprints and specifications. Non-
production items are also reviewed. When once it is as per the specifications given, the goods
will be accepted

Examples of Site Layout Planning

come in contact with direct or airborne moisture can cause cement to set whereby. Hence first
batch of cement delivered is the first to be used.
Aggregates
Different aggregate types and sizes to be kept separate. They stored on a clean, hard, free-
draining surface, surrounded by retaining and separating walls of bulk timbers.

Figure : 12 Reinforcement bars
Bars at the construction site have to go through a number of procedures, starting from
unloading, hoisting; stacking; cutting; bending; fabrication; welding etc. In many cases,
improper storing and handling of the steel rebar end up damaging the steel rebar. Hence for all
this process it kept away from a site and as pet requirement it supply for construction.
Figure: 13 Drainage pipes, tiles

storage
It store on ground floor these are supplied loose or strapped together on timber pallets. They
should be stacked horizontally with ends reversed in alternate rows. A driven-in timber stack or
column of loose bricks can be used to form end restraints.

Figure : 14 Labor residency
Temporary shade for labor staying purpose and toilets with water and electrical facilities. It is
located away from a construction work at corner of site.

CHAPTER 5. ANALYSIS
Material management and storage circulation on site:

There are two roads passing near a site, hence there is no issue of accessibility in site. There are
four entrances in for site hence material easily reach in site. The site is narrow hence there is
limited storage space for materials, hence as per requirement material delivered on site and
complete residential ground floor shop area used as storage space for sanitary ware, tiles.
Material placed on site as per requirement and circulate for a construction.
Material analysis:
Bricks :
Figure : 15AAC BLOCK
Material used for Brick : ACC block and Red block
Storage:
There is no different storage for brick. It store in open area on site .It store near to construction
area where it is required hence it is to carry bricks as per required area of brick wall
construction. In unit-1 residential project construction of 11TH floor bricks area supply by
vertical lift.
Inventory control:
Bricks are supply as per requirement on site. After coming a first batch of brick next
purchasing order are given for contracture before decay of brick blocks.
Technology management :
RCC construction ( in-situ construction)

Cement:
Figure : 16 Cement storage
Storage:
Cement bagged are kept on construction site near to working place hence it is easy for worker
to carry bags to construction site.
Cement bag place at dry platform away from a water storage placed near to each other to
reduce a moisture absorption.
Inventory control :
Cement are delivered as per requirement on site. Hence dampness of cement get reduced.
RCC construction ( in-situ construction)

Reinforcement Bar :
Figure 17 Reinforcement Bar storage
Storage: reinforcement bars are placed on open area. It place Away from constructed area
because it required a cutting area. It cut on open area and it carry on constructed area. Bars of
different classification, sizes and lengths should be stored separately to facilitate issues.
Inventory control :
Cement are delivered as per requirement on site. Because of Reinforcing bars should be
stacked yards away from moisture to prevent rusting and also away from oil and lubricants.
RCC construction

CHAPTER 6. OBSERVATION

 Materials Requirement Planning it is as per scheduling, planning wise and material are
porches as per requirement wise before first stoke over, Hence there in proper
inventory control , which dictates the manufacturing processes is continue.
 Two residential units have different construction phase’s unit-1 complete up to 11th
floor brick work started and another unit basement level work construction in proses
hence there is material segregation. Unit-1 required AAC block and unit-2 required a
concert and RCC bars for construction. There is material requirements as per phases.
 Material placement as per circulation wise in different zones are construction zone,
storage zone, working zone, labor residential zone.
 There is no proper store area for material. Cement are placed in open area it absorb a
moisture and it became a hard hence it required storage area with waterproof floors,
roofs and walls. The floor of shed should be well above the ground level. Small
windows with air tight doors should be provided.

CHAPTER 7. CONCLUTION

From the above literature review, we can conclude the following things:
 In the present case study, analysis on the work site was done with the previous
knowledge of the material management, and new methodologies were implemented at
work site, based on the current construction scenario.
 Following aspects were taken into consideration, the original site layout was
redesigned, then the proper management was bought in and a completely new concept
was derived.
 Understanding of the problems that occur at the work site due to, inventory, purchasing
and on how materials are being handled at the work site were taken into consideration.
 On how, materials are being procured was done with questionnaires and weight ages
were given to each. On further these problems were tackled with cause effect and
diagram and how materials can be properly procured with the help of proper flow
charts.
 Importance on how materials are properly procured at the site was also taken into
consideration and new appropriate technological implications.
