Abstract:
This paper examines construction site logistics for large-scale projects. The aim is to consider how the supply of a construction site in the field of building construction can be optimised. In the introduction and initial research on this topic, construction site logistics are associated with good management and communication on site. This paper therefore starts by outlining the main roles between the stakeholders on a construction site and the different hierarchical and possible communication schemes between these stakeholders. These different schemes regularly involve the use of subcontractors. However, engaging subcontractors means that the problem is passed on to them. The issue therefore needs to be addressed in more detail. In order to define the term major project more precisely and to learn a little about how stock is usually managed on a construction site, a survey was conducted among construction professionals. Based on the results, it was found that a project can be called large if it contains technical difficulties and the number of people involved per square metre is large. Thus, building construction sites could be divided into two categories: One are classic residential buildings with six or more floors and the other are buildings that include technical facilities. Finally, the supply of the construction site had to be divided into individual steps and it had to be considered who should take over which tasks in order to optimally organise the supply according to the type of construction site. The aim is for those with management responsibility on site to be able to refer to one of these example construction sites when organising their own. Each construction site has its own parameters.
