The Organization And Management Of

The Construction Construction Essay

In todays society, any things are inseparable from the corresponding management.
Management principles of people management activities to achieve organizational goals. In
dealing with personnel, capital, materials, information, need to follow the basic elements
and their standard of management. Management is very important in every part. For
example : If the enterprise has a good management system, it will have great help to the
enterprise. Enterprise management can enhance the operational efficiency of the
enterprise; can make the enterprise have a clear development direction; can make every
employee give full play to their potential; can better set up the enterprise image; Final
purpose is to improve the economic benefit of enterprise.

1.2 Material Management :

Material management is the building materials planning, supply and use of the floorboard of
management work.Building materials constitute the building product entity. Material costs
typically account for 60 to 70 percent of the cost of the construction work. Reasonable
organization building materials planning, supply and use, and ensuring the construction
materials from production enterprise according to the variety, quantity, quality, time limit into
the construction site, reduce the circulation link, prevent the backlog of waste, to shorten the
construction time limit for a project and accelerate the construction speed and reducing
project cost has important significance. Material management, including the choice of
material resources, the origin of investigation materials, the analysis of material flows,
material demand forecast, prepare material plan, check the material implementation of the
plan, to ensure the supply of materials and conservation use.

2.0 Literature review on material management

Material management center task is to check and ensure approach construction quality of
materials, safekeeping approach of the material, strict, reasonable use of all kinds of
materials, reduce consumption, to ensure the realization of the management objectives.

2.1 Pre-construction preparation work

This is the beginning of the on-site materials management, and to create a favorable
environment and provide the necessary conditions for materials management.Its main
contents are as follows :
(1) to understand the progress of the project requirements, to master the required quantity
and quality requirements of the various types of materials.
(2) understand the material supply.
(3) determine the material management goals, signed a supply contract with the supply
department.
(4) prepare the site material layout planning.
(5) Provide for a space, warehouses, roads and other facilities, and related tasks to
prepare.

2.2 The organization and management of the

construction
This is the implementation phase of the on-site materials management and management
objectives, the following main content :
(1) reasonable arrangements for materials approach, well site material acceptance.
(2) to fulfill supply contracts to ensure that the construction needs.
(3) to grasp the changes in the construction schedule, timely adjustment of the material
supporting the supply plan.
(4) enhance on-site materials custody, reduce losses and waste, to prevent the loss.
(5) tissue material with reasonable use.

2.3 Construction closeout phase

Construction is about to end, the main content of the site management work :
(1) According to the finishing works, clean up the material with.
(2) Organization of the excess material with refunding.
(3) removal of temporary equipment in a timely manner.
(4) good recovery and utilization of waste materials.
(5) the material balance, and summarize the level of material consumption and effective
management of the construction project.
Above part is construction site material management system, if each project according to
such steps to construction, building engineering will be more perfect.

2.4 Material use and out of the warehouse

system
The use of any material must be carried out material requisitioned procedures, material
administrator shall not without the material procedure cases issuing of materials
(1) The release of the material shall follow the FIFO principle.
The corresponding engineering materials required by the on-site construction workers
responsible for the collection. The material receiving perform quota picking system
construction workers do a good job with the material administrator the progress of the
project should be part of the project materials usage statistics. The amount of the budget
more than the number of actual use of the sub-project should be promptly reported to the
project manager and the head office.
(3) Receive the materials need to be handled with curators picking procedures: apply to the
curators to collect materials under date of engineering material picking curators issued the
corresponding material storehouse, the two sides in the storehouse signed.
(4) Custodians need good material ledger Nissin statement, do conforms to the account
book, always grasp the inventory; carefully check the amount of material in various projects,
and the number of various materials in a timely manner on the current inventory supply
information, in order to quickly purchase the supplement does not affect the progress of the
project.

2.5 Material return system

(1) In the completion of the project 70% shall strictly control material purchases and issuing,
and timely statistics a warehouse stock material status and must purchase material list and
number, delivers the company concerned personnel. In order to avoid too much surplus
material, and then save the company capital input and waste.
(2) Respond to the material of the construction site at the end of the company projects to
inventory and supervise the the timely construction team go through the restitution
procedures. Avoid individual construction workers at the end of the construction muddy the
waters, so as to prevent the loss of material at the end of the project.
Material handling restitution should fill material returns a single, detailed lists the name and
number of the remaining material. After counting the same material personnel to handle the
procedures for the handover of the material stored in the company warehouse. Thus the
company warehouse materials is done at a glance, in order to achieve adequate and
reasonable use of the stock material in the construction project warranty period and the
next.

2.6 Objectives of materials management :

Construction site material management purpose is: material management and schedule
control, cost control and quality control restrict each other, complement each other. For
better use the resource, saving expenses, reduce waste. In order to achieve all these goals,
it is necessary to establish an effective management system, at the same time need to
establish good coordination of materials management departments, the department should
have good coordination with each other and with other departments. Construction
engineering projects of building materials of the project cost 60 ~ 70%, reasonably
organization building materials planning, supply and use, and ensuring the construction
materials from production enterprise according to the variety, quantity, quality, time limit into
the construction site, reduce the circulation link, prevent the backlog of waste, to shorten the
construction time limit for a project and accelerate the construction speed and reducing
project cost has important significance. A good material management system, can let you
reasonable control cost and improve the project profit.
2.7 Functions of material management :
In the increasingly fierce market competition, as a independent economic entity of
construction engineering construction enterprises to survive and development, they must try
to improve the economic benefit of enterprise. Improve the economic benefits of the
enterprises is by many factors, its important condition is one of strengthening the
management of engineering materials. Only when we do well in the material management,
it will be possible to do engineering of low cost, good quality and high efficiency. This is the
engineering construction to strengthen the management of materials in importance. A
period of time since the main problems in materials management, building construction, the
reason why some of the works the high cost, poor quality, low efficiency in addition to the
removal of a number of reasons, materials management, lax, poor is one of the important
reasons.
Material management in construction process is particularly important, it directly related to
construction enterprise's profit. Construction of the production process, and also the
process of material consumption, material elements of the maximum magnitude of value of
production factors. Therefore, strengthen the management of the material is the objective
requirements of architectural production. As the production of technical and economic
characteristics of the building, so that the material supply management of construction
enterprises have a certain degree of particularity and complexity, mainly: diversification of
supply, variability, and the consumption of non-uniformity, bring seasonal reserves and
supply problems, and by the mode of transport and transport links and to contain. The
reinforcing materials management is an important part of improving various technical and
economic indicators and to improve economic efficiency. The materials management level,
can directly affect the economic interests of the enterprise. Therefore, the organization and
management of materials directly affects the production, technical, financial, labor,
transportation and other activities. Plays an important role in the companies to complete
production tasks to meet the needs of the community and to increase corporate profits.

2.8 The problems in material management :

Material management personnel quality is not high, the management level is low, not in
accordance with the rules and regulations to handle affairs, not even familiar with the
operation process.
Material management departments to provide information can not meet the new market
environment management on information demand, difficult to adapt to the market changes
in external environment. The first is due to the management system and other reasons, the
current material management department in engineering bidding activities can not provide
effective information project unit price analysis, resulting in after winning the bid in the
process of engineering construction material price and bidding survey of material price
difference is bigger, give a engineering project management bring adverse influence; The
second is in the project after winning the bid, before construction not ready to project
material cost forecast, there are no deal with building materials prices risk measures; The
third is the material cost accounting, analysis work is weak, make material management
work in the process of information lag, resulting in the loss of current assets, to the
detriment of management decision-making, financial arrangements.
Material procurement not material budget or there are budget but too hasty. Did not sign the
purchase contract or contract is optional. Acceptance of materials control is no strict . To
turnover materials and low-valued consumables will be the disposable and they are no
longer management. Material personnel gets serious waste materials even sell privately.
Material storage in do not pay attention to the fire prevention and guard against theft,
moistureproof security. Materials will be piled up messy, and there were no obvious
identification card, mark, etc. No statistical materials.
To neglect the engineering subcontracting services team material use management, cause
the project flow fund waste and project assets loss, even will improve the engineering cost.
There is no vaccine for disciplines, subproject make material consumption quota.

Solutions :
Strengthen the training, improve material management personnel quality.
Strengthen the information management of engineering materials.
Control material purchasing cost.
Do material custody work.
Pay attention to material cost accounting analysis.

2.9 Material storage and maintenance

1.According to the warehouse material characteristics and properties of reasonable storage
and preservation, achieves the quality and quantity assurance, the safety.
2.Reasonable put. To different varieties, specifications, quality, grade materials are
separated, according to the order put, so that fifo.
3.Material put need to tidy, afraid of damp items to cover underlying, pay attention to fire
prevention, moistureproof, prevent wet, combustible material to store alone, all material to
clear identification, do well the environmental health, often kept clean.
4.For temperature and humidity demanding materials, well temperature, humidity adjusting
and controlling work, high temperature season to cooling purposes; Plum rains season
should be moistureproof, mouldproof, Cold season to freeze insulation.
5.Often should check, keep track of and find materials metamorphism, and actively take
remedial measures.
6.For mechanical equipment, accessories regular oil or seal processing, avoid the grease
dry off cause performance affected.

3.0 Comment and evaluate the existing site layout

relation to the positioning of the material on the
construction site
Construction site materials not only have management system and also have material
requirements placed. According to the construction site materials requirements are as
follows:
1.Construction materials piled up shall, according to the dosage size, use time length,
supply and traffic condition determined dosageuse for a long time, supply
convenient transportation, it shall by instalments approach, in order to reduce yard and
warehouse area;
2.Construction site all kinds of tools, components, materials piling must be placed in
accordance with the overall plan prescribed position;
3.Position should select appropriate, easy to transport and handling, minimize secondary
transportation;
4. The high hypsography, solid, flat, have drainage measures, in compliance to safety, fire
requirements;
5. Should be stacked according to the varieties, specifications, and set up the obvious signs
to indicate the name, specification and origin;
6. Various material items must be stacked neatly.
7. Construction site smoking should be banned to prevent danger, fixed at a smoking room
or smoking, smoking room should be kept away from the danger zone and set up the
necessary fire-fighting equipment should be set according to the project situation.
Now, we have the existing site layout in the Almatab Sdn.Bhd. According to the
requirement, the existing site layout is unreasonable. From the existing site layout, we can
see construction material put is very chaotic, no organized. I think this layout has 5 aspects
is unreasonable.
1. Construction materials placed unreasonable.
2. Construction tools and equipment placed unreasonable.
3. Construction site idle place too much, should be reasonable use of it.
4. Lack of construction site office, canteen, lounge.
5. Construction site need to set up the fire protection equipment.

4.0 Identify possible problems that may face by site

manager relating to the materials management on
the site
From the existing site layout we can see, the materials management is unreasonable. The
existence of these problems has many reasons. If we are not in time to solve these
problems, the construction will appear a mess. For example, materials piled up confusion,
there will be have safety problem, also can affect peripheral environment. So the main task
is to solve the material piled up problem.
The materials management have this problems, the main reason is the negligence of
managers, as a new managers need to learn how to deal with any problems in the
construction site. So, as a manager, should according to the following method to
management:
1, Familiar with the norms, constitution, laws and regulations;
2, Familiar with the program, process, progress of the project;
3, Master the project each person in charge of key trades personnel;
4, For daily inspections focused adhere to;
5, There are a strong discovery of the ability to deal with the problem of problems with
coordination;
6, There is a certain authority, able to independently deal with some common
problems
If managers in accordance with the above rules to management, construction site won't
appear the phenomenon of chaos, will be very orderly. If as a new manager, all aspects
must to learn .

5.0 Proposed new site layout to improve the existing

site layout
The existing site layout is unreasonable. So, we will design a new site layout. The new site
layout will be better than the existing site layout. So I think that need to improve the several
aspects:
First of all, the construction site should be set fixed site entrance and site exit.
Construction site must put up a corresponding signs, such as site-oriented brand, meeting
rooms, safety warning sign.
Construction site must have canteen, in order to consider safety and clean, the canteen is
located in the entrance.
In order to all aspects of security, construction site need to have fire equipment, so the fire
protection equipment in next to the canteen.
5. Construction site needs a lounge and meeting rooms, it is located in the place of site
exit,like this is advantageous to the constructor is convenient.
6. Waste materials can't with other materials mixed together, so the waste material separate
treatment.
7. Concrete batching plant, Reinforcement and materials need to put together; like this, can
help the construction work.
Every construction site need to have a room to store building materials, so it is set in
another side, so it does not hinder the work.
The construction site is not frequently used machinery and equipment, also need to be on
the other side.
Every materials piled up places need to have temporary road.
All in all, the material put is very important, need to consider all aspects. For example, the
wood stacked classification by the use of parts of each other, stacking height shall not
exceed 2 meters. Steel piled in strict accordance with the types and specifications, the
origin classification stacked, good rain, waterproof, moisture-proof work. So, materials piled
up is also a science, materials piled up reasonable will have many benefits; The important
thing is help to speed up the building. As a new site managers, construction site managers
have the global consciousness, for each construction process will know fairly well, the task
of this arrangement won't feel chaos. In addition to have a complete comprehensive
construction plan, and to carry out, this is the most important, no plan work can be said to
be aimless. Finally, to regulate the relationship between the various construction sectors,
coordination of construction management.

5.1 New site layout :

Store
Scaffold
Store
Equipment
Storage
Fire Equipment
Canteen
Double Storey Terrace
Entrance
Semi --- detached houses
Exit
Concrete Batching Plant
Reinforcement
Lounge
Meeting Room
Timber
Materials
Waste Materials
6.0 Suggestion that will give strong impact on the
material management process in the future based
on the case study
At present, there are many buildings, construction site material management is an important
part of each project. In order to strengthen the management of the construction site
materials, I put forward the following suggestions:
1. With the designer of the materials needed to determine brand, material, specifications,
and carefully measure the number of required materials, organize the material supply
business,
About the category of purchase order, must will quantity, brand, specifications, origin, etc
are clearly marked, size, material, templates, etc must be once in place, in order to avoid
material order discrepancy, and then influence the project progress;
3. According to the actual situation and progress situation, reasonable arrangement of the
material approach, on the material do approach acceptance, check sampling, and
inspection to contractor, design units, classification;
4. According to the construction organization layout designated position classification piled
up in different site,
5. For scene material, clear inspection and registering disseminate their material
storehouse, in strict accordance with the construction schedule, and the need to track the
issuing of materials, to avoid the material is lost or wasted;
6. About the material inventory, warehouse keeper must be collated in inventory, and pay
attention to the classification of various materials stacked, flammable, moisture-proof
material protection products are required to take.
At the scene management,construction enterprises should proceed from the actual work
environment situation and develop a series of practical rules and regulations to regulate
behavior. With the guarantee the quality of the construction system, and "even more
stringent requirements in order to achieve, to do a good job civilized construction
environment clean, stockpiling orderly and clean sound equipment, security facilities,
smooth road formation, standard sound system, strict labor discipline construction orderly "
target.
In others, need to improve construction site safety management. In the work before, safety
should be put in the first place. The main problem of the construction site on fire safety,
prohibit indiscriminate lap wire, wear a helmet, scaffold erection, seat belt problem, need to
set up a special security team to control, and more training to learn and take preventive
measures.

7.0 Conclusion
All in all, the management of the construction site is a complex task, the good preparedness
at any time, all aspects should be prepared, on time and in accordance with the
standardized management to complete the construction task. Material management of the
construction site, as long as the items required for various types of materials, from entering
the construction site to construction the end of the whole process up to clean up the site
materials management are the scope of the management of the construction site materials.
Enhance the project's materials management, to improve the level of project management,
resource allocation optimization project, actively adopt new materials management
mechanism, and to obtain the lowest cost of consumption through a small amount of capital
investment, to form the best materials management philosophy to improve project
management effectiveness and profitability. Through the study of construction site material
management, we can learn the construction site management system and how to
management of the construction site materials.
