“…[25] have generalized the fact that AHP approach allows decision makers to structure complex problems in the form of a hierarchy such as the goal, criteria and alternative compared to other decision-making approaches. Table 3 portrays the fundamental intensity scales developed by [26] (in [27]) for AHP decision-making models. The fundamental concept of pairwise comparison in the AHP is to assess the priority importance of a criterion over another that leads to achieving a hierarchy objective.…”

Abstract. Green building development is an emerging paradigm for the construction industry practice all around the world. The establishement of Green Building rating tool helps to assess the whole life cycle process in planning to operation in a building. The Malaysian construction industry recognizes buildings that have been assessed using established green building tool such Green Building Index, Green RE or My CREST. Eventhough these rating tools provide motivation factors in its criteria and sub-criteria to promote sustainability in Malaysia buildings, there is still a major doubt to developers in terms of risks that may hinder their investments in green buildings. This paper highlights the priority importance of economic motivation factors against risks in the green building development in Malaysia. The data presented in this paper have been mainly derived from responses received through questionnaires completed by building stakeholders involved in green building developments. In order to determine the priority importance of economic motivation factors and risks identified for green building development, the questionnaire outcomes have been thoroughly assessed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. As a result, lack of government incentive and high capital cost, which classified under green building risks, are the two key factors with highest priority importance that influenced most of the decision making for green building development in Malaysia. The results show green buildings have proliferated as governmental support and incentives with more exampler of higher profit return of investment in enhancing developers preference for green building development.

In this paper, a novel fuzzy MADM model with some specifications that make it distinguished from the available methods. Decision matrix is defined as a full fuzzy structure. The model only uses information on the alternatives i.e. does not require pre-assigned weight values for the attributes. The weights will be achieved through a matching mechanism between the obtainable alternatives' preferences and a fuzzy preference relation of the alternatives stated by decision makers. This is applied using a mathematical programming model. Since the resulted model is non-linear and hard to solve using the classic optimization methods, Simulated Annealing is proposed to find optimum or near optimum weights. Having the weights of attributes, the alternatives' ranking is determined using the statistical measures of their fuzzy values. The model is applied on the project selection problem to study its efficiency and applicability to MADM problems.

The main reasons for their argument include: 1) the independent checks in DBB can help identify project faults and develop a balance of decision-making power, 2) the clear allocation of design and construction responsibilities can encourage both parties to exert further efforts towards quality improvement, and 3) the independent relationships between the designer and contractor can avoid compromised project schemes (Al Khalil 2002;Balson et al 2012;Mahdi and Alreshaid 2005). The inconsistency of previous literature motivated the authors of this study to conduct further investigation on the quality comparison of DBB and DB.…”

The choice of delivery method is one of the most important decisions that can determine the quality of construction projects. Two basic delivery methods, design-bid-build and design-build, have been compared in terms of project quality; however, an important quality dimension, performance quality, has generally been ignored in previous studies. In this study, we used existing economic theories to develop a model to examine the performance quality and project profits of these two delivery methods. The equilibrium points of the model were analyzed with consideration given to influencing factors such as cost coefficient, cooperation efficiency, and coordination cost. We made four propositions to facilitate the quality-profit comparisons between design-bid-build and design-build. The first proposition showed that, to maximize personal profit, the project coordinator should always keep a balance between design quality and construction quality, regardless of the delivery method. The other three This is the Pre-Published Version. propositions indicated that both methods can generate relatively higher levels of performance quality and project profits in an appropriate project environment. Based on these propositions, we ranked the performance quality and profits of the two methods within different conditions and used a real project to exhibit the practical value of these findings. Via case study, cooperation efficiency was identified as the most critical factor that determines the selection of delivery method. In addition, three key steps were summarized to facilitate the application of our model.
