Abstract
The decisions on the project delivery method when conducting a construction project are an important part of the process and can heavily influence the success or failure of the project. Many factors have to be considered, however, in determining the project delivery method, and there are no definite criteria. This ambiguity can cause much difficulty. As such, this paper proposes a system based on case-based reasoning (CBR) that supports the decision-making for project delivery method selection considering the future construction project performance. The research was conducted with focus on the road construction case dataset. Based on this, the proposed decision-making support system was devised by applying decision tree (DT) analysis, the effectiveness of selecting a project delivery method for the project performance index (ESDPI), and CBR. This system can consider not only the project delivery method but also the later construction project performance, and can thus effectively support the owner’s decision-making.
