Site Logistics Goes ‘Digital Native’

Course Information

Construction site logistics can be simply defined as the systems put in place to control the planning, execution, procurement, transport and stationing of workers, materials and other resources to achieve the goals of a construction project. Construction owners and overseers have sought to apply this control since the first large construction projects were attempted millennia ago, and the continued existence of monumentally large and exquisite structures such as the pyramids or huge megalithic walls and buildings suggest the discipline of site logistics was advanced even in ancient times.
