Abstract
The concept of a hybrid computerized decision support system for the evaluation of construction contractors' suitability to perform the work associated with a project is presented. Previously developed decision tools are summarized and justification for the creation of such a system is proposed. The system configuration is described along with the modelling techniques available for each aspect of prequalification decision-making.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
