In the construction sector there are currently high demands regarding short project times. As a result of this, the constructer demands lower costs, which in itself leads to challenges to meet the requirements. Other contributing factors to difficult-to-achieve requirements are changed project conditions and varying material flows. As a result, the majority of all recent reports have been identified as logistics-related problems. In order to streamline the production process and meet the planned requirements, it is required to logistically plan the project at an early stage by having good planning, good communication and cooperation at the construction site. A large part of logistics is covered by planning and utilizing transport and material deliveries in an efficient way. The purpose of this degree project is to investigate how construction logistics work at Veiddekkke's workplaces, where one of their ongoing projects includes OKQ8 in Karlstad. This is to be able to identify the logistics problems that may arise during the project and for what reasons. After identifying the logistical problems that may arise at the construction site, the goal is to develop proposals and implement these proposal solutions in order to avoid these problems recurring in future construction projects. At the beginning of this thesis, an extensive literature study was conducted based on various books, reports and research articles to obtain as much knowledge as possible in the field. To gather the necessary information about the OKQ8 project, a case study was conducted at the construction site. The methods used for data collection were surveys, interviews, observations, and work diaries. Site manager and supervisor were interviewed, and different types of observations were made at the workplace. The results show that the construction logistics at Veidekke work well in general, but sometimes problems arise during the production process which can affect the project. The two major types of problems identified are transport and material deliveries. However, there are also other types of factors that can affect construction logistics, such as poor communication and poor planning.
