Abstract : Effective procurement strategies in housing projects are critical for enhancing project outcomes, particularly in cost efficiency, sustainability, and timely delivery. This narrative review examines various procurement approaches used in housing projects, drawing from 72 published journal articles from 2010 to 2023, marked by rapid technological advancement and an increasing focus on sustainability. The review systematically analyses the evolution of procurement strategies, highlighting key trends, challenges, and opportunities within the housing sector. The findings underscore the pressing need to adapt procurement methods to contemporary demands, such as integrating sustainable practices and technological advancements. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a comprehensive overview of procurement strategies in housing projects and offers insights that could inspire future research and practice. The outcomes suggest that a strategic approach to procurement can significantly improve project performance, stakeholder satisfaction, and overall sustainability, offering a promising future for the field.

Keywords : Housing Projects; Procurement Strategies; Project Performance; Sustainability; Cost Efficiency; Technological Advancements.
