“…Another approach suggested by Al-Harbi (2001), Mahdi et al (2002) and Topcu (2004) used Analytical Hierarchy Process methods to select contractors. Shiau et al (2002) developed an sub-contractor selection management aid system.…”

Abstract. Contractor evaluation is a vital part of the project management cycle and deals with risk and risk management. One of the most important phases in the construction industry is the bidding process. In order to select the most appropriate contractor for the project and prepare the most realistic and accurate bid proposal, stakeholders have to know all financial, technical and general information about these contractors. The information can be determined as qualitative, quantitative or verbal data. This paper presents the multi-attribute contractors ranking method bay applying Ordering of feasible alternatives of solutions in terms of preferability technique. This method allows dealing with qualitative and quantitative data as well as with data expressed in words (verbal data). Finally, an illustrative example of contractor selection is used to demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of the proposed model.

Abstract. Construction, taking off, maintenance and facilities management of a building is a typical example of consumer sovereignty: the new owner likes to have a reasonable price to pay, to have confi dence in the contractor, to know about the duration of the works, the service after completion and the quality of the work. On the other side the contractor has his objectives too, like the satisfaction of the client, diminishing of external costs and annoyances and the management cost per employee as low as possible. In other words it concerns a problem of multi-objectives. Therefore a fi nal ranking will show the best performing contractor from the point of view of the clients but also from the point of view of the contractors themselves. The MOORA method based on ratio analysis and dimensionless measurement will accomplish the job of ranking the contractors in a non-subjective way. As an application the largest maintenance contractors of dwellings in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania, were approached.

“…Previous studies showed that contractor selection should not be based solely on obligations specified in the tender such as tender price but also on other criteria. The literature review by Hatush and Skitmore [23], and Topcu [24] shown that the most widely accepted criteria for prequalification of the contractor were: financial stability, management and technical ability, contractor's experience, contractor's performance, resources, quality management, plant and human resources, health and safety and environmental concerns.…”

Abstract-Selection of a contractor is a key decision made by clients and the process of selection a contractor has become an important issue in construction projects. The opportunistic behavior of contractors in low-bids models has been detected from many researchers in various countries and many studies of low bids have found that for the best economic results and good quality, the lowest bid is not considered sufficient to ensure the desired results. A contractor selection problem is a multi-criteria problem. This paper aims to propose integrated model for determining criteria prequalification to select a contractor. The proposed integrated model contains three components. First, Non-parametric tests will use to deal with categorical variables for ranking alternatives. Second, ANN model will apply to determine the relationship between decision factors by using backpropagation multi-layer perceptron (MLP). Third, AHP model will assign the relative importance weightings of several evaluation factors by using Web-HIPRE software to rank the criteria. We hope that the result from proposed model will be encouraging.
