Abstract

Material cost is almost 50–60% of most construction projects. In recent years, the price of building materials and the supply has decreased, directly affecting the construction cost. This study aims to identify the main factors supply of materials affecting the construction industry in Mongolia. A quantitative approach was adopted in carrying out the research. The target population included civil engineering companies in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. In the survey, stakeholders of construction projects, such as clients, contractors, designers, consulting service companies, and construction material suppliers of various construction projects, were targeted for the survey. A total of 90 respondents were surveyed. The respondents were a mix of CEOs, consultant engineers, field engineers, project managers, architects, and budgeters. Descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency) and the Relative Importance Index (RII) were used to analyze the data. The most significant factors identified were a shortage of materials, building materials quality, economic instability, pandemic situation, mistakes during construction, and financial difficulties of the owner.
