Various challenges such as new technologies, growing complexity and competitive environment, require the main contractor to assign some of the project’s tasks to other parties, the so-called subcontractors. Although subcontracting is a usual phenomenon in the construction industry, insufficient attention to the subcontractor selection strategy may pose some major threats to a project. Having in mind the significance of such risks, the optimization of subcontractor selection is essential for the success of the project. The importance of risk management in selecting subcontractors and the direct relation between risks and returns in most projects are two main motives for using the concept of portfolio in this paper. The main objective of this paper is to propose a model to allocate the best portion of project’s task to some subcontractors in order to reach the optimized portfolio of subcontractors and main contractor. This is a new approach in the subcontractor management; therefore, after presenting the model, an illustrative example will be presented for better understanding.

■ All experts agree on the importance of subcontracting. The high impact of subcontractors on the construction process means that the selection of subcontractors is a sensitive activity. Previous investigations documented the selection of subcontractors based on criteria but did not consider the number of subcontracted tasks. This paper explores allocating the best portion of tasks to subcontractors while optimizing the risk and cost in the fixed project schedule. The study's main finding demonstrates that subcontractor selection without attention to the order allocation is not a realistic approach; therefore, a hybrid model that applies continuous ant colony and fuzzy set theory is proposed.

“…Other categorisation of sub-contract works include categorisation by capability profile (Lehtinen, 2001) functional participation (Tam, Shen, & Tam, 2007), methods of payment (Ramus, Birchall & Griffiths, 2006), and nature of work rendered on a project (Ramus et al, 2006). Irrespective of the categorisation discussed, subcontractors are a vital component of construction projects (Yin, Wang, Yu, Ji, & Ni, 2009) because major aspects of construction project works are performed by them (Andreas, Florence, & Jane, 2009). With increasing complexities of construction projects (Ahuja, Dozzi, & Abourizk, 1994) and improved procurement systems, main contractors' roles have become limited to the management of work interfaces while offering physical execution of construction tasks to subcontractors (Humphreys, Matthews, & Kumaraswamy, 2003).…”
