Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Economics, Business and Management - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The construction industry significantly influences the nations’ economies. Selecting an eligible contractor in the process of construction management is indispensable to successful completion of a construction project. This research proposes an integrated decision making model for construction contractor selection, along with a method to identify managerial decision criteria. The proposed model shows how the priorities of clients in terms of the managerial dimensions of time, cost, quality and safety can be taken into consideration in the contractor selection process. To identify the most important and efficacious evaluation criteria in each dimension of time, cost, safety, and quality, the incorporation of expert judgments and non-parametric statistical techniques is suggested. In this regard, a survey was conducted, and non-parametric statistical techniques were used for analyzing the outcomes of the survey. The results have also been examined in a case study. Keywords: construction management, construction contractor qualification, tendering, decision criteria, non-parametric statistics, Analytical Hierarchy Process.
