In complex projects, such as hospital constructions, there are large interdependencies between the actors involved, especially relating to the flow of materials and resources. As new hospital buildings are often built on existing blocks and campuses, ongoing hospital operations may hinder logistics and construction operations and vice versa. To handle these issues, it has become increasingly common to implement construction logistics setups (CLSs). The purpose of the paper is to analyse how the centrality of the CLS in the project organization affects the coordination and conflict level in complex construction project management using a power dependency lens. The study is based on case studies of six hospital projects in the Nordic countries. Based on a cross-case analysis it is identified that: 1) from a logistics management perspective we identify three different foci of the CLS; i) security for hospital patients and staff, ii) on-site material flow coordination, and iii) flow coordination to and from site, and 2) from a project management perspective the main findings point towards the importance of centrality of the CLS in the project management organisation in order to ensure enough power to mandate enforcement of coordination.
