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 52 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.
