Like many other countries of the world, growing population and migration from rural to urban areas have also created enormous challenges for habitation in Bangladesh. All these necessitated the emergence of the Real Estate Industry (REI) with opportunities and by translating these challenges into opportunities through its supply chain stakeholders. With this end in view, the current study aims to investigate the supply chain management system of the REI in Bangladesh. From the review of literature, the supply of land, building material, construction material, outsourcing, labor, finance, logistic support, design, safety & security and utility services have been found as essentials in maintaining an effective supply chain which later on have been adopted through a primary survey on the real estate industry of the country and are found significant.
