“…Hence, previous studies have adopted some multi-criteria decision-making techniques to aid project teams with their decision-making processes. For example, Camci and Çimen [18] for the selection of the most appropriate construction contract type used a spherical fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. The spherical fuzzy version of AHP was chosen because it can comprehensively address the hesitancy hidden in the preferences of decision-makers.…”

Prioritization of Contracting Methods for Water and Wastewater Projects Using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Method

et al. 2021

This study uses the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) method to prioritize contracting methods to determine the most suitable contract option for water and wastewater projects (WWP). Content analysis, a two-round Delphi survey technique, and a series of validation and reliability tests helped establish the 18 key criteria for FAHP analysis. Consequently, data collected from experts through a pairwise comparison questionnaire form the basis for the inputs for the FAHP analysis. Consequently, the final weightings were derived for each of the key criteria and available contracting methods. The results indicate that the bilateral, cooperative, and trilateral contracting methods are the most suitable for WWP in Iran, with the highest weighting. The study provides useful guidance for the top management of project firms in selecting the optimal contracting method for their projects and offers significant contributions from theoretical and practical perspectives.

“…According to Hosseini et al [18], the use of the appropriate project delivery method is one of the key factors in achieving project objectives and project success. Culp [28] compared traditional and alternative project delivery methods in terms of their effects on quality, schedule, and costs in water and wastewater treatment projects.…”
