Consulting Advice from the Point of Sourcing to the Project Site Installation
In construction, procurement refers to the process of managing and coordinating sourcing, purchasing, and shipping of materials needed for a project. This involves supplier screening and selection, cost estimation, factory oversight, and logistics management to ensure timely delivery of required materials within budget.
