Abstract
Managing the purchase of construction commodities is very important for small-scaled contractors because of the limited funding they have. Commodities in construction projects are very diverse so managing commodity purchases requires priority in their allocation, namely in strategic commodities. Strategic commodities have the definition that the commodity has a large value and in the long term its availability affects the construction project. This study aims to identify strategic construction commodities on road infrastructure projects carried out by small-scaled contractors. The survey method is carried out to identify strategic commodities and confirm the value of commodity utilization from the historical data of the project. The results of the study show that sand, cement, reinforcing steel, concrete, asphalt, and aggregate are commodities with a strategic level of assessment based on the Kraljic matrix.
