Supply chain management (SCM) has experienced considerable success in the industrial sector. Supply Chain Management aims to increase confidence among supply chain partners, thereby increasing the speed of inventory, and is an innovation that seems to be particularly suitable for construction projects. As the construction industry is a key social and economic activity in each region, the implementation of SCM strategies is deemed to be helpful in achieving greater competitiveness for construction firms. Construction is an undertaking worldwide, with many distinctive aspects and radically different types of projects, sizes and complexities. While current literature indicates that generic supply chains should be easy and linear, in the construction sector, the reality is very different. When providing a solution to the end customer, every construction company needs to incorporate a variety of construction supply chains and markets. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review current research and synthesize key methods and results in order to provide recommendations for future research related to construction supply chains. Specifically, the aim of this review is to screen existing studies (published in 2000-2020) with regard to their a) level of analysis b) research emphasis c) type of study / paper d) sample used e) relationships examined and f) the various types of construction subjects covered and linked to supply chains.
