Authors: Yemesh Sahu, Trilokinath, Akansha Ekka

Abstract: Material management is a crucial component of construction project management, as materials significantly influence project cost, quality, and completion time. Inefficient handling, storage, and procurement of construction materials often result in delays, wastage, and cost overruns. This review paper examines various material management strategies adopted in building construction projects, with a focus on planning, inventory control, transportation, storage, and handling of materials. Previous research highlights that effective material coordination from the design phase to project execution can substantially improve productivity and reduce losses. The study emphasizes the importance of adopting systematic inventory control techniques and modern management tools to enhance overall project performance.
