Abstract
The Analytical Hierarchy Process
(AHP) and PROMETHEE have gained increasing attention in the field of construction
management as techniques for the analysis
of complex situations and as decision support for decision makers. However, these
two methods in themselves or their potential applications to problems of construction
management are not sufficiently defined in
the existing literature. The environment of
group decision-making bring even more challenges. This paper consolidates and critically
discusses the current knowledge on the application of AHP and PROMETHEE methods
in the light of the specifics of the construction industry. A systematic literature review
was used to select the contributions indexed
in the databases Scopus and Web of Science.
The findings indicate that the studies deal
with broad topics and different aspects in
different phases of civil engineering projects.
This paper provides a useful reference work
for researchers and practitioners interested in
the application of AHP and PROMEETHEE
as tools for group decision-making in civil
engineering.
