MATERIALS MANAGEMENT AND PROJECT DELIVERY OF CONSTRUCTION FIRMS

Successful project delivery is essential for economic growth and infrastructure development. This study looked at construction companies’ management of materials. The improper handling of materials affects how well projects are completed. Inadequate material management could seriously hinder the realisation of projects. 291 employees from Habitat and Building Concepts Limited and Dantata & Sawoe Construction Company (Nigeria) Limited made up both the study's population and sample, which used descriptive survey research design. Information from the respondents via standardised questionnaire were regressed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Result shows transportation (.03+1.82), purchasing (.03+0.73), and storage (.03+1.11), had a favourable and significant impact on project delivery. While planning (03-0.15) had a negative but minor impact on project delivery. The study advises Dantata & Sawoe Construction Company (Nigeria) Limited and Habitat and Building Concepts Limited accordingly. Managers should manage materials adequately and decide on efficient means of transportation, procurement, and storage.
