Abstract - Most of the construction company concern about
the material management it’s planning, controlling delivery,
inventory control management from their design phase to
construction phase. Material has a direct impact on the cost,
quality and time of the project so having materialsattheright
place, right time, right quality and right quantity is essential
for effective execution of building project. The reduction of
wastage during transport of materials, handling of materials,
storage of materials, should be used top management
inventory control technique.
Key Words: Construction Material, Project Management.
Construction site management
1. INTRODUCTION
Management of material for a construction project is very
important as material are the major resource for the
company. The total cost of material for a project is 50% or
more of the total cost. So here we can define material
management the process of providing materials at the right
time for the right place, from the right source, right quality
and right quantity to minimize the cost of project and finish
the project on time. To manage well thematerial areconcern
with Planning, inspection, issue procedure, inventory
control, purchasing, material supply, transportation,
material handling, maintenance and information system are
the main requirements. The material managementshouldbe
consider from the purchasing phase throughout the
construction period. Generally construction materials are
heavy, bulky, critical, expensive, and its stock in a large
amount to construction site there for there is a need for
effective material management to minimize problems for
handling materials. It’s theroleofthematerialsmanagement
is strongly economical for all organization in every time the
organization must ensure all the material islowestfinal cost,
assurance of supply, lowest administrative cost, buying
material with economical cost, operating costwithoptimum
quality and profits can be increased.
2. Components of Material Management
• Purchasing
• Transport & Handling
• Inspection
• Storage

3. Problems of Material Management.
Material management have over a long period many
problems most for the construction organizations. As the
size of project increases the scale of activities concerning
with material management there are numbers of problems
related to material management, the problems may be
associated with planning, storage requirement, lack of
communication, delivery problems, handling problems,lack
of security, etc. some of these problems are describe.
Planning: problems related to planning include
scheduling of time, ordering, measuring it emphasized
that planning is very important for the increase of
productivity, and timely completion of the project.Ifthe
construction materials planning process is not
implemented properlytheproductivityofprojectwill be
hang down.
Delivery problems. Problems in construction material
have negative impact on time completion of
construction project. Many situation are exist in which
material cant arrive on time
Lack of security. Security in the construction industry
is becoming increasingly important. It means that how
we manage risk arising from unauthorized access to,
sharing of Data, systems & information the end result of
poor security could affect project financial margins.
Understanding the lack of security profile and
conducting effective management will help safe and
productive construction environment.

Storage requirement. Intheconstructionindustry,itis
essential that the storage of equipment and materials is
considered for the total of the project. A large numberof
materials required more storage depends on the
magnitude of the project also it is very important to
keep lots of material and equipment which are used on
the construction project. All the material must have
proper space, safety, as well as dry.

4. Literature review:
(Madhavi, Mathew et al. 2013)havefocusedontheproblems
which is comes to place in construction industries. In this
investigation authors have found that improper material
management construction conducted that construction
project cost is depend on material, machine, manpower,
subcontractor, overhead cost and general condition may
affect project cost if the material is not managed well it will
create cost variance. Project costcanbecontrolledaccording
to schedule of project.[1]
(Hadi, Vencheh, 2010) the paper showthe extendversionof
Ng-Mode for multiple criteria of inventory control ABC
analysis they provide an example which is compared the
ABC model with Ng model.[2]
(Soni, Harsh et al. 2016) most of the organization are using
now a days the inventory control techniques after using the
always better control analysis it will reduced 20% cost of
materials in total cost. The major factors for the material
management is poor management of time, cost and poor
inventory control which delay the project.[3]
(Mohopadkar, patil 2017) inventory control in the
construction industry is one of the most important factors
there for the organization have to know about proper
material management techniques for the success of the
project with the given time. Paper is on the importance and
technique of inventory management it shows that the
materials entire expenditure of constructionprojectisabout
to 60% to 70% so its possible to reduce the overall cost of
the project.[4]
(Rajgor, Pitroda 2017) materials are in construction phase
one of the important phase especially in residential and
industrial construction material are the main factor for the
completion of the project it describe the importance of
material management in construction industry and those
function for the successful completion of a project.
Importance of material management (1) lack of
communication (2) reduce lead cost (3) utilization of
resources (4) supply of material (5) product control[5]
(Indrasan, Rajput et al. 2018) in this paper for an inventory
control management the existingsituationwasanalyzedand
twofold improvement is proposed by using ABC and EOQ
analysis for better inventory management to decrease the
organization inventory level and cost overruns by avoiding
overstocks and use the technical way.[6]
(Jadhav, Magadum, et, al. 2018) it was a case study for the
Indian residential construction project to find out the most
significant factors causing delays the collection data was
through questionnaire survey the participants was
consultants, contractors, and owners thefactorwasbyusing
RII method and recommended to avoid delays in
construction projects.[7]
(Mishra, et al. 2018) themethodologyforthisinvestigationis
Innovation Action Research (IAR) for two important
question 1. How to find and convey material information for
scheduling of project? 2. How to prepare material with
nearest term scheduling? The paper have proposea solution
for the material from their design phase to construction
phase in construction project.[8]
(Aku okarocha, 2013) the author has analysis those factors
which effect the material management in building
construction project. Primary and secondary data was
collected the statistical analysis was used thought the use of
multiple regression show it’s veryimportantforthe effective
material management in building construction project. To
manage well material give as cost control, on time execution
of project, failure of project[9]
(Kulkarni-et al-(2017) the researcher has found the factors
which effecting material management in building
construction project furthermore has carried the voids
created by the improper material in a construction
project.[10]
(Karoriya, Pandey 2018) every construction project
management is maintaining to manage and minimize
wastage of construction materials for the successful
completion of constructionprojectswithina giventime,cost,
with design quality and handling of materials, requires
systematic planning and controlling the researcher have
used inventory control technique for the cost overruns in
construction projects.[11]
(kumar, lilhare et, al. 2016) all organizationshavetobalance
the critical stock outs and minimize the inventory costs the
investigator have used ABC analysis inventory control
technique and find to help managers during management of
inventory items it help to understand of problems occurs in
inventory and safety stock.[12]

5. Conclusion & Recommendations:
Studying effective material management in a construction
project to minimize problems with applying inventory
control technique maintain material managementprocesses
from the design stage to construction stage and efficiency of
project completion on time, qualityandunderbudget.Thisis
because the poor construction material management can
effects the overall performance of project in the terms of
time, cost & quality. One of the issue that may happen with
every construction project that is the wastage of material
management if it not manage well and minimizing wastage
of construction materials at construction project.
For the successful execution of a project it is important that
top management must pay more attention forall activitiesof
a construction project.
On time of completion of project it’s important that
top management should pay moreattentiontoward
material management in construction project.
Use of software such us MS project, Primavera etc.
to avoid errors in material management.
Inventory control technique ABC analysisshouldbe
used to find out the total annual usage value in
percentage.
All organization should maintain the balance
between critical stock outs and minimizing
inventory costs.
Construction material management plays a keyrole
in making the project successful.
A successful project s that to finish on a specific
time, cost and quality.
Its need of material management system to save
time and cost.
