“…Such effort is difficult due to a construction project’s fragmented nature with a variety of stakeholders across phases from design to construction (McCoy et al, 2009). Stakeholders in the construction phase are often targeted as the sole administrators for safety measures and implementation (Toole, 2002).…”

Safety management in construction is an integral effort and its success requires inputs from all stakeholders across design and construction phases. Effective risk mitigation relies on the concordance of all stakeholders’ risk perceptions. Many researchers have noticed the discordance of risk perceptions among critical stakeholders in safe construction work, however few have provided quantifiable evidence describing them. In an effort to fill this perception gap, this research performs an experiment that investigates stakeholder perceptions of risk in construction. Data analysis confirms the existence of such discordance, and indicates a trend in risk likelihood estimation. With risk perceptions from low to high, the stakeholders are architects, contractors/safety professionals, and engineers. Including prior studies, results also suggest that designers have improved their knowledge in building construction safety, but compared to builders they present more difficultly in reaching a consensus of perception. Findings of this research are intended to be used by risk management and decision makers to reassess stakeholders’ varying judgments when considering injury prevention and hazard assessment.

“…The Delphi method can be classified by four characteristics, which are anonymity, iteration, controlled feedback and the statistical aggregation of group response (Rowea and Wrightb, 1999). Figure 2 illustrates the process of a typical Delphi method as illustrated by McCoy et al (2009). The Delphi method was selected to: first document and assess the judgements of experts on a particular topic.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to attempt to bridge the gap between sustainable housing and the use of smart technologies to improve the level of sustainability in the housing construction in Saudi Arabia, by discussing the barriers and enablers concerned with applying sustainability to housing construction in Saudi Arabia, which utilises smart technologies. Design/methodology/approach -A Delphi method survey was employed, for which 25 individuals from three key stakeholder groups of the Saudi housing sector participated. They were asked about their degree of agreement (or disagreement) about the various barriers and enablers of applying sustainability to housing construction in Saudi Arabia, which utilises smart technologies. This research paper must be considered as an indicative study of selected experts that do not represent in any way the total population of Saudi Arabia. Findings -Lack of public awareness has been identified as the most significant barrier in implementing sustainable housing development in Saudi Arabia, which utilises smart technologies. Raising awareness of the public to the benefits of sustainable housing and enlightening key project stakeholders in the design of sustainable housing are both essential in order to overcome the barriers discussed in this paper. In addition, it is important to adopt smart sustainable construction methods, exemplified by but not limited to, appropriate water preservation and wastewater treatment systems that are simultaneously smart and sustainable. Research limitations/implications -This particular research has dealt with only barriers and enablers in the application of sustainability to housing in Saudi Arabia, which utilises smart technologies. For a more complete understanding, there is a need for further analysis of supplementary factors. Practical implications -A study such as this, which identifies and prioritises barriers and enablers, could prove useful in guiding or encouraging the relevant ministry in Saudi Arabia to develop policies founded in the implementation of sustainability to the housing sector. Originality/value -This research is a preliminary investigation into the implementation of sustainable housing development as it relates to Saudi Arabia.

“…According to McCoy [1], the Delphi method acquires experts' opinions through a series of surveys. The answers of each survey are fed back to the conductor, whom summarizes and reports for each panel member the ideas expressed in the responses.…”

People make decisions every day. If the wrong decisions are made in governments and companies, this may cause huge financial losses or other negative consequences. There are several methods to help decision-makers with these hard decisions. Delphi is one of those methodologies. It relies on the wisdom of crowds to extract the best solution from a multidisciplinary group of experts. Long-term decisions may take more than a decade to be proven right or wrong, and as the time passes, the reasons for the decision may be forgotten. There is a lack of methods which enable storage of the reasons for a decision made using the Delphi methodology. We propose an ontology which stores the whole process, thereby allowing the decision-maker to validate the reasons for the decision. If the experts' opinions are still valid, it is likely that the decision is still valid. We also prove that our ontology is minimal and sufficient to satisfy our objective.
