        abstract = {Materials management is a core component in the success of construction and infrastructure projects. It involves the planning, procurement, handling, storage, and distribution of all materials required for a project. In today’s dynamic construction environment, the efficiency of material flow directly impacts project costs, timelines, and quality. This paper presents a comprehensive view of materials management processes, including functional responsibilities, categories of materials, digital tools, and modern supply chain strategies. The paper also outlines challenges encountered and how technological interventions like AI and RFID can overcome them to optimize material usage, reduce waste, and improve productivity.},
