A construction consolidation centre (CCC) is a distribution facility which can be used in the process of managing project logistics. A CCC is used to channel material deliveries to construction sites, generally a large single project or a number of different sites. The main purpose of a CCC is to enable to efficient flow of materials through the supply chain, thereby reducing waste and other issues such as congestion.

Construction materials are delivered from the supplier to the CCC where they are stored until call-off from the site, at which point the CCC operator makes up and delivers a consolidated load. This is done on a ‘just in time’ basis, for enhanced efficiency.

Usually, the main contractor takes the decision to use a CCC and so carries the cost. However, subcontractors, suppliers and hauliers all see the benefit and so there can be efforts made to try and spread the costs since the fixed cost of establishing a CCC for one site can be prohibitive.

While distribution centres have been used in other sectors around the UK, currently there are limited examples of CCCs in operation. The Heathrow Consolidation Centre (HCC) was established in 2001 for the ongoing work at Heathrow airport. In 2005, the London Construction Consolidation Centre (LCCC) was set up as a pilot study. Subsequently, Wilson James took over the LCCC and relocated it to Silvertown, near City of London airport.

Another option for major contractors is to establish their own CCC to support their projects. For example, the house builder Taylor Wimpey has set up Taylor Wimpey Logistics which consolidates materials in a Newmarket facility that then provides for its sites across England and Wales.

=== Project size ===

The use of a CCC is not necessarily dependent on the size of a project, rather whether there is an ongoing business volume to make it worthwhile. Shared user CCCs can be an option as opposed to single user, which allows the operating costs to be spread more efficienctly.

=== Location ===

As a general rule, a CCC should be located close to a motorway or major road network. This is so that the impact on local roads is kept to a minimum and to minimise the turnaround times of hauliers.

It is recommended that a CCC to situated where several different sites can be reached in 30-45 minutes. It can be more sensible, if there are a reasonable number of sites, to have two smaller CCCs, each of which are closer to the respective sites, than one large CCC.

= Advantages =

There are several advantages associated with using CCCs. Studies looking into their general impact have found the following:

* Up to 70% reduction in freight traffic to site.
* 6% productivity gain based on increased workforce productivity of 30 minutes per day.
* 7-15% reduction in waste.

The use of CCCs also prevents the inefficient utilisation of delivery vehicles, with journeys being made with less than full capacity. Therefore, advantages in terms of carbon emissions and traffic congestion may be found.

Other advantages include the following:

* Noise and pollution reductions.
* Reverse logistics means that journeys from the site can be used for waste removal, return of unused materials, and so on.
* Cost savings associated with fewer and more efficient vehicle journeys.
* Improved programme certainty.
* Better storage facilities than are often available on site.
* Excess packaging can be removed at the CCC rather than creating clutter on site.
* Materials delivery can be sequenced which encourages flexibility.
* Manufacturer errors or damage can be detected at the CCC rather than when delivered to site.
