E-Procurement of Construction Materials (E-Commerce Website Generation)

Abstract

With the increased use of technology in the industry, the procurement methods need to be enhanced too in order to avoid delays which adversely affect the cost and time of the project. However, the use of traditional means of procurement cause problems with record keeping and maintenance related to it. Also with the non-homogenous availability of materials further delays the process of procurement. To overcome the problem, with a proper research and collection of data, which provided information about the local suppliers, a platform is created which is an e-commerce platform from where materials that can be used in construction can easily be bought. Furthermore, an estimate facility is also provided in the platform for four different residential homes of 5, 10, 14 and 20 Marla and estimate provides quantities of the major materials that can be used.
