Rising cost of construction materials: The raw material costs which is required for the construction rose to 2.2% in June and that effects the supply chain worse. construction companies who realize that they are in short of material in the middle of the work wont be able to get the materials easily or with the cost before.
Strict deadlines: Deadlines are common in construction industry but covid-19 make it more dreadfull.
Ensuring cleanliness in the warehouse, supply chain and construction sites slow downs the work and international sourcing become even more harder
So the solution for this construction supply chain problems are technology . The advancement in technology make it possible to solve anything and everything in the whole world.
