The scarcity of project inputs makes it necessary to use these inputs in the most suitable way, particularly in developing countries. The foremost task with the highest priority in the implementation phase of projects is the determination of the resource allocation for realization of the activities. Ensuring that these resources are utilized in the most suitable way increasing efficiency will require identifying and planning the resources, and supervising the planning during the realization phase. In addition to the management of material and equipment inputs, the management of labour also becomes important in resource management in the construction sector. Today, regardless of how good their financial resources might be, projects with inefficient human resources are doomed to fall short in their rate of success. It is not easy to achieve the efficiency and work quality targets with an unsatisfied, under-motivated labour force. In this context, introducing the techniques and methods related to the management of the main building inputs of the construction business, such as material, labour, equipment and subcontractor inputs, and to the planning and control of these inputs constitute the aim of this course.
