| Abstract | Precast concrete method is special method that brings a lot of benefit to construction such as lower project cost, better quality control, faster installation on site, and lesser wastes and resource. However, precast concrete method application requires a higher level of building logistics because precast components are high volume components but precast logistics management has been limited application in Vietnam. That is the reason why precast method has not widely applied yet in construction in Vietnam. This work presents the precast logistics management model developed from the beginning of project until finished construction work in Vietnam. The logistics management is assessed based on the data and information collected from two case studies which ar e precast building project and on site casted concrete building project. Then, the critical logistics activities, the logistics efficiencies and problems, also strengths and weaknesses are identified. Finally, base on the assessment results, recommendation s for improving the logistics performances in precast construction are proposed. The results of this study found that the precast logistics management chain in construction starts from the feasibility study of project. The investor ’s construction method d ecision in feasibility study affects to the whole precast logistics chain. In order to get the maximum benefits from the precast advantages, the precast application should be considered from the beginning of project , in the feasibility stud |
