Construction Equipment Management in Project Site

Good project management in construction must vigorously pursue the efficient utilization of labour, material and equipment. The use of new equipment and innovative methods has made possible wholesale changes in construction technologies in recent decades. The selection of the appropriate type and size of construction equipment often affects the required amount of time and effort and thus the jobsite productivity of a project. It is therefore important for site managers and construction planners to be familiar with the characteristics of the major types of equipment most commonly used in construction. This thesis is to study the management of equipments practices in Construction Industry and to present the most popular practices of the contractors and to compare the equipment management policies with a Case study of a construction industry. The needed data were collected via a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analysed using SPSS Software. Finally, the findings of this study were compared with findings of questionnaire conducted for finding significant commonalities and differences in equipment management practices.
