A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH FOR THE SELECTION OF THE ARCHITECT/ENGINEER PROFESSIONAL IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Journal Title: Architecture Civil Engineering Environment - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents a model for selecting Architect/Engineer (A/E) professionals for construction projects. The model takes into account all relevant criteria considered by the owner. These criteria were identified through a comprehensive literature review, and were then clustered into seven groups, namely firm background; past experience; technical resources; manage- ment capabilities; financial stability; quality assurance; and innovation capability. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was utilized to develop a model for A/E professional selection. This involved constructing a hierarchy of the decision, tak- ing into account all of the identified criteria and sub-criteria and comparing the relative importance of each criterion with all other criteria. A synthesis of the results was undertaken to determine the ranking of the different professionals consid- ered in the model. The paper is practically useful to owners interested in achieving the desired cost, quality and time in their projects.
