 Abstract:

The construction material is one of the critical factors to create products from construction processes. Proper evaluation and selection of building material supplier can increase product quality, reduce defects and costs, etc. To select good material suppliers, defining core criteria for evaluating them is one of the most important economic decisions in the success of any construction contractors. In Vietnam, however, there have not been many publications related to the evaluation and selection criteria of material suppliers. For this reason, this study presents an overview of the criteria for evaluating and selecting construction material supplier based on the reference of domestic and foreign documentation combining in-depth interviews with construction professionals. The research data collected through expert interviews were qualitatively analyzed by word tags. The results show that the five most important criteria are price, quality, number of projects involvement, ability to deliver on time, and supplier relationship.
