A Trust-Based Method in Construction Industry

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a method for construction contractor selection based on trust building. By classifying criteria into three types of trust and applying gray correlation analysis, the presented method concerns multi-criteria for evaluation other than price, selects trust-and selection-related criteria, provides approaches for indicator quantification and determines the contractor on the basis of gray correlation degree.
