“…Fewer applications were found in the construction management [101][102][103][104], retrofitting [57,[105][106][107], building maintenance [108][109][110] and location selection [111][112][113] application domains. The question of how one method is better suited than another to address a specific problem is constantly scrutinized by researches and practitioners.…”

“…Schöttle and Arroyo [101] applied a value-based decision-making method conditionally named weighting rating and calculating (WRC), best value selection (BVS), and choosing by advantages (CBA) approaches to illustrate and compare the impact of these methods on the results of a tendering procedure. Khanzadi et al [102] developed a hybrid MCDM model of discrete, zero-sum, two-person matrix games with grey numbers as a framework to solve dispute problems in the construction industry. The proposed approach was based on the application of several game theory methods-Laplace, Hurwicz, Bayes and Hodges-Lehmann rules.…”

Sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and building technology can be supported by fundamental scientific achievements and multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) theories. The current paper aims at overviewing the state of the art in terms of published papers related to theoretical methods that are applied to support sustainable evaluation and selection processes in civil engineering. The review is limited solely to papers referred to in the Clarivate Analytic Web of Science core collection database. As the focus is on multiple-criteria decision-making, it aims at reviewing how the papers on MCDM developments and applications have been distributed by period of publishing, by author countries and institutions, and by journals. Detailed analysis of 2015-2017 journal articles from two Web of Science categories (engineering civil and construction building technology) is presented. The articles are grouped by research domains, problems analyzed and the decision-making approaches used. The findings of the current review paper show that MCDM applications have been constantly growing and particularly increased in the last three years, confirming the great potential and prospects of applying MCDM methods for sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and building technology.

“…For assessing risk in deep foundation excavation, Valipour et al [63] developed a step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) based complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) framework to analyse Iranian construction project uncertainty. Khanzadi et al [64] solved the dispute resolution problem in the construction sector by considering a grey number based discrete zero-sum two-person matrix game model. Keshavarz Ghorabaee et al [65] presented the hybrid fuzzy step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) based 'evaluation based on distance from average solution' (EDAS) model for assessment of the construction equipment by taking sustainability into account.…”

A Hybrid MCDM Technique for Risk Management in Construction Projects

et al. 2018

Multi-stakeholder based construction projects are subject to potential risk factors due to dynamic business environment and stakeholders' lack of knowledge. When solving project management tasks, it is necessary to quantify the main risk indicators of the projects. Managing these requires suitable risk mitigation strategies to evaluate and analyse their severity. The existence of information asymmetry also causes difficulties with achieving Pareto efficiency. Hence, to ensure balanced satisfaction of all participants, risk evaluation of these projects can be considered as an important part of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process. In real-life problems, evaluation of project risks is often uncertain and even incomplete, and the prevailing methodologies fail to handle such situations. To address the problem, this paper extends the analytical network process (ANP) methodology in the D numbers domain to handle three types of ambiguous information's, viz. complete, uncertain, and incomplete, and assesses the weight of risk criteria. The D numbers based approach overcomes the deficiencies of the exclusiveness hypothesis and completeness constraint of Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory. Here, preference ratings of the decision matrix for each decision-maker are determined using a D numbers extended consistent fuzzy preference relation (D-CFPR). An extended multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) method in D numbers is then developed to rank and select the best alternative risk response strategy. Finally, an illustrative example from construction sector is presented to check the feasibility of the proposed approach. For checking the reliability of alternative ranking, a comparative analysis is performed with different MCDM approaches in D numbers domain. Based on different criteria weights, a sensitivity analysis of obtained ranking of the hybrid D-ANP-MABAC model is performed to verify the robustness of the proposed method.

“…Hence, these decision tools and methods should be highlighted and employed [9]. The outranking methods, as an uncommon category of MCDM methods, meet the particular requirements of the soft decisions which properly handle the real-decision situations e.g., [10][11][12][13]. To start with outranking method, ELECTRE (ELimination and Choice Expressing the Reality) was created by Roy [14].…”

This study introduces a new decision model with multi-criteria analysis by a group of decision makers (DMs) with intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). The presented model depends on a new integration of IFSs theory, ELECTRE and VIKOR along with grey relational analysis (GRA). To portray uncertain real-life situations and take account of complex decision problem, multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) model by totally unknown importance are introduced with IF-setting. Hence, a weighting method depended on Entropy and IFSs, is developed to present the weights of DMs and evaluation factors. A new ranking approach is provided for prioritizing the alternatives. To indicate the applicability of the presented new decision model, an industrial application for assessing contractors in the construction industry is given and discussed from the recent literature.
