Abstract

This research work is on the analysis of factors affecting effective materials management in building construction projects. Having the right materials in the right place at the right time is important for effective execution of a building project. Secondary and primary data collected were subjected to statistical analysis through the use of multiple regressions. Six hypotheses were tested and the results show that significant relationship exist between the factors and effective materials management. It was recommended that organizations should incorporate materials management in the overall policy of the firms in order to eliminate some of these problems.
