    ABSTRACT

    Construction materials are vital components of the total construction cost (about 60%) of the total project cost. Based on their importance, this study assessed management strategies adopted in construction sites in Uyo Municipal. The objectives were to examine the construction materials management strategies in practice on construction projects, determine the possible factors affecting choice of materials for construction project, and to assess the impact of compliance with standard materials management strategies on project success. Questionnaire survey administered to 75 construction stakeholders in construction organisations in Uyo Municipal formed the data collection instrument.

    Data analysis involved Mean Item Score, percentages and Coefficient of Variation. Findings of the study revealed durability, cost and availability are significant determinants of construction material choices. Materials management strategies adopted include stock control, site planning, quality control and adequate supervision. Adherence to effective material management correlates flowing project delivery by ensuring effective project planning. Recommendations are directed towards the need to consider responsible sourcing in pursuance of the global sustainability agenda in material procurement and usage.

    CHAPTER ONE

    1.0 Introduction

    1.1 Background of the Study

    Construction industry relates to organized economic activities which include assembling materials, labour and other construction resources like plants, overheads and profits; and managing all these inputs towards achieving desired goals and objectives (Ojo, 2005; in Adafin, Daramola and Ayodele (2010). The fact that the Nigeria construction industry continues to occupy a significant position in nations economic, (Aibinu and Jagboro, 2002), there is need to improve the efficiency, quality, productivity, administration and management of construction activities and resources with adequate solutions to the problems confronting the industry.

    Construction materials refer to goods, fittings, component and accessories used in construction project (Mustaph and Rashid, n.d). Of all construction resources, emphasis is mostly placed on construction materials, because the cost of materials has been identified to account for a major cost of the overall construction cost (Stukhart, 1995; and Bernold and Treseler, 1991).

    The use of these materials and their control includes cost, and these could influence cost incurred by the client or the profit margin of the contractor, or performance of the construction industry. In order to optimize cost of construction, it is necessary to properly manage the material component and its flows.

    The material management can be described as a system for planning and controlling all the efforts necessary to ensure that the correct quality and quantity of materials are properly specified in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost, and importantly are made available at the required point. The management of construction materials is an important element in project planning and control (Patel and Vyas, 2011).

    Strategies are planned action and procedures to achieve the projects objectives. It is concerned with the means to meet ends. According to Horny (2006) strategy is defined as a plan that is intended to achieve a particular purpose.

    Strategies are necessary in construction materials management because they aid the achievement of projects goals and objectives that are prescribed in the project plan. The strategies aid in the successor of project. A project is said to be successful if it accomplishes its technical performance.

    Defense Procedure for Quantity Surveying Researchers

    In preparation for defending a project or seminar on Assessment of Materials Management Strategies on Construction Sites, it is imperative that as a nursing student, you demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of your research. The defense process is structured to include presenting your work, answering questions, and illustrating its pertinence. Initially, provide a succinct yet thorough introduction to your research topic, emphasizing its importance and the objectives, ensuring that both the audience and the External Examiner can understand the scope of your study.

    Prior to your defense, be thoroughly acquainted with your research abstract and the critical elements of Chapter One, including motivation for embarking on this research, problem statement, objectives, and significance. In Chapter Two, be ready to cite at least two references from the literature review. For Chapter Three, you should be equipped to discuss the methodologies, tools, and techniques utilized. In Chapter Four, defend your research by justifying the findings and linking them to your research objectives.

    Conclude your defense by succinctly summarizing the study and offering insightful, evidence-based recommendations. A professional dress code, such as wearing a suit and tie, is vital to create a favorable impression and elevate your presentation.

    During the question and answer segment, the External Examiner may pose questions pertaining to your research. If confronted with a challenging or irrelevant question, respond diplomatically with, “Sorry, Sir/Madam, the question asked is beyond the scope of my study.” Whenever possible, direct your answers back to your research findings to reinforce your expertise.
