        abstract = {In a construction project, the cost of construction material may range from 60-70 % of total construction cost. The main aim of this research paper is to examine the current material management practice and its impact on the delivery of building construction projects. A questionnaire survey administered to a purposive sample of main contractors and sub-contractors, eliciting current material management practices through semi-structured interview and obtaining their perception root causes of ineffective material management toward 34 causes that were extracted from an extensive literature review. Moreover, the relationship between different material management practices and project delivery in terms of cost overrun and delay were acquired from this questionnaire. There are two distinguish material management practices that were followed. The top three most common root causes of ineffective material management identified were matching price to competitor’s price; time spent investigating non-qualified suppliers and unavailability of material.},
