The challenge to the engineer is also made greater by the pace at which new materials are being developed. The most challenging issues in the Construction industry in the last decade is price variation of Construction raw materials. Many researchers have been done in the last decade however a deeper understanding is still needed to improve the region wise price variation of Construction raw materials by studying the market behavior in the construction industry. The aim of this study is to get the latest information and to identify the key factors that affect price variation of construction raw materials in Gujarat by study of market behavior in the construction industry. Data's are collected through questionnaires and distributed to respondents who work at various projects in wide area in Gujarat.
