The paper provides an overview of the theoretical works related to the advantages of deploying Supply Chain Management (SCM) within the UK construction industry. The study is underpinned by conducting empirical research via questionnaires and an active case study related to a large UK contracting company. The prime objective of both activities noted above is to provide the UK construction industry with a workable and valid framework for implementing SCM and thus attain the advantages of deployment in practice. The paper is presented in three parts with all references contained in part three. [Taken from article abstract]
