Abstract

The fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) is adopted to choose an appropriate construction project delivery methods in consideration of several relevant factors and sensitivity analysis is used to indicate the influence on choice when taking different key factors into account and to verify the practicality of the method in this paper.
