Abstract
Due to increasing urbanisation, the basic necessities of housing demands are also on a rise. This leads to increase in construction activities and movement of construction vehicles to and from construction sites. However, the upcoming Green Deal 2025 policy would pose restrictions to the entry of construction vans, the most widely utilized transport for the sector, in the inner city areas. This reverse streams of problems for the sector pose an ardent need to effectively organise logistics in the sector. Even though there are exisiting solutions for tacking these issues in the sector such as use of Construction consolidation centres (CCC) in the sector, their use is limited to the bigger companies in the sector. Meanwhile, its adoption remains largely low due to the dominance of SMEs in the sector that suffer from financial limitations of organising these solutions and an unclear case of business case for them. This project is aimed to explore suitable collaborative sharing solutions for capacity sharing and presenting trade-offs in terms of qualitative and quantitative benefits of the solutions. The project devises an awareness session methodology to create awareness towards openness of these solutions in the chain. The session was evaluated with construction logistics experts and seems to attain its objective of creating awareness for the sharing concepts.
