建筑业是一个分散的、项目驱动的行业，具有特定的特点，有时会产生负面影响。人们经常提到其他行业，特别是制造业，可以更有效地运作。两者之间的主要区别包括供应链的组织和协调。供应链整合已被建议作为建筑供应链的解决方案。本论文旨在透过假设产生的研究，对建筑业供应链整合的概念发展有所贡献。在借鉴建筑实践和文献中的相关思想和概念的基础上，对供应链集成的概念进行了初步探讨。这一概念进一步基于四个理论视角：经济、生产、组织和社会理论。在实证部分，供应链整合的做法，首先研究了六个不同的行业：汽车，航空航天，计算机，电子，服装和杂货。调查结果表明，先进的形式和高水平的供应链一体化。建筑案例包括建筑供应链中的五种公司类型：客户、开发商、设计师、建筑商和供应商。研究结果表明，相对较不先进和较不全面的供应链整合的方法，相比理论和制造。基于对抗的实证研究结果与理论，四个假设已经形成代表部分描述什么构成了一个概念的供应链整合建设。因此，这将意味着建筑供应链转向产品、流程和组织安排的更高水平的重复性和整合。
The building industry is a fragmented and project-driven industry with specific characteristics, which can sometimes result in negative effects. Reference has often been made to other industries, particularly manufacturing, that would function more effectively and efficiently. Major differences between both include the organisation and coordination of the supply chain. Supply chain integration has been suggested as a solution for the building supply chain. This thesis has aimed to contribute to the conceptual development of supply chain integration for building by means of hypothesis-generating research. The concept of supply chain integration has first been explored on the basis of related thoughts and concepts in building practice and literature. The concept has been framed further based on four theoretical perspectives: economic, production, organisational and social theory. In the empirical part, supply chain integration practices have first been studied in six different industries: automotive, aerospace, computers, electronics, clothing and grocery. The findings have indicated advanced forms and high levels of supply chain integration. The building cases have included five firm types in the building supply chain: clients, developers, designers, builders and suppliers. The findings have demonstrated relatively less advanced and less comprehensive approaches to supply chain integration, as compared to theory and manufacturing. Based on the confrontation of the empirical findings with the theory, four hypotheses have been shaped representing partial descriptions of what constitutes a concept of supply chain integration in building. As a consequence, this would imply a shift of the building supply chain towards higher levels of repetitiveness and integration of products, processes and organisational arrangements.
