Logistics play an
integral role in the success of any project and is the
front line vision of the project to the public and local
businesses during the construction process. Poor
logistics are costing the UK's construction industry
£3bn a year, and the simple fact remains that the
constraints of a project ensure that successful delivery
of the project is based on a few fundamental processes
that will include:
Deliveries & traffic into the Project
Waste management from the project
Safety of the workforce & surrounding population
Security & access control
Any failings of the above will have a significantly
detrimental impact on a project and its successful
completion. The message is clear, that for contractors
and client’s alike; there are benefits from good
logistics.
The impact of poor logistics on a project will be far
reaching and impact every aspect of the construction process
including:
Commercial ineffectiveness
Poor quality construction
Increased project time
Limited liaison between the client and sub contractors
