Abstract
This chapter presents a cluster of chains in relation to the building facade, which supports a model merging industrial organization economic theory and object- oriented modeling. The results are from the interviews with various project managers, firm executives, production, and procurement managers involved in the supply chains for commodities that are clustered around the facade specialist subcontractor on a major building project in Melbourne, Australia. Many of the suppliers are international in that they either directly work on projects in other countries or are within companies that are international.
