In most building project locations are facing indeterminate supply lead time and logistical complexity due to lack of cooperation among suppliers and contractors. This eventually affects how logistics and material deliveries are managed towards achieving project success. The study focused on formulating a building construction logistics model (BCLM) for successful project delivery in the Southeast, Nigeria. The research design includes field surveys and multiple case study approaches. Data were collected via semi-structured questionnaires administered to one hundred and eight (108) construction experts at the construction site. The data collected were analyzed using factor analysis and multiple regression analytical techniques. The factor analysis grouped the identified success factors into twelve (12) decision components, and the multiple regression result identified seven (7) of the twelve (12) component factors as critical and were incorporated in formulating BCLM for successful project delivery. Hence, the study concludes that the developed building construction logistics flow model is capable of assisting construction experts achieve project success via efficient resource management, scheduling, and coordination. The study recommends the adoption of the BCLM, which is a simplified flow model that can be easily integrated into construction project operations to meet project objectives via effective building construction logistics operations.
