Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide a clear understanding about the extent of the application and the weaknesses of the most important practices in the materials management that observed in Iraqi construction sector. The field survey included, sample selection, questionnaire preparation, data collecting, presentation, analysis, and results evaluation. The questionnaire included eight processes represent construction materials management processes, and each process in turn includes several axes. The research has diagnosed a general weakness in all construction materials management processes, especially in the waste treatment, feedback and handling processes where the degree of application (Conformance Ratio Cr) was 46 %, 51 %, and 55 % respectively. While the degree of application of the remaining processes was planning 0.64, purchasing 0.7, transferring 0.62, receiving 0.71, storage0.67 respectively. Finally the degree of application of construction materials management was 0.63 which refers to (Middle) degree of evaluation.
