Construction Maeconomics Conference 2014
Abstract
One of the essential prerequisites
for successful construction processes is the timely provision of high-quality
construction materials. Usually the executing construction companies are
supplied by specialised material suppliers. Some of
these manufacturing companies resist the prevailing tendency in construction
to outsource services, set-up their own construction teams and integrate them
into their organisational structure. So far it is
still unknown which type of companies are doing so, how they work and how they
are organised. The following article approaches to
review the theoretical background of this kind of integration, explanatory
models are presented and a proposal for the initial investigation of these
companies is shown.
