Abstract
Supply Chain Management (SCM) in construction industry is a developing field of study. This paper analyses the results of a questionnaire survey on supply chain management in top US construction industries. A survey was sent out via online tool to more than 100 contracting companies in the US, mapping the relationship between contractors and suppliers, the tools and methods employed in executing the supply chain practices. The survey results indicated that SCM in the construction industry is still in its developing state. They also indicated that the construction industry has been relatively slow in adopting SCM as a tactic due to its complexity and uniqueness. The study recommends several solutions to overcome the above mentioned problems and improve the efficiency of the SCM in the construction industry.
