Material management affects almost every area of a project, and ineffective processes can have costly results.  Sound material management ensures that the right materials are available to the right crews at the right time.

Material management involves more than just purchasing – it is an entire process that integrates knowledge of the scope of work, coordination with the project schedule, handling and storage of on-site material, review of vendor bids, and detailed recordkeeping.  CB&A provides the vital material management support that a project needs to move forward efficiently, minimizing delays and cost overruns.  We enable the project management team to make informed material management decisions using detailed reports that incorporate both schedule and cost related concerns.
