  • Abstract:

    In this paper, an industry evaluation of the perceived impact of various decision factors and sub-factors on the contractor pre-qualification decision-making process has been conducted and the results are presented herein. The three organization types participating in the study were public owners, and construction managers. An analysis of the mean impact responses by organization type has been performed. An analysis of the correlation coefficients among the questionnaire items has also been completed. The mean impact responses of the various organization types were evaluated for statistical significance. The results indicate a significant statistical difference in the value of the perceived impact among public owners when compared to private owners or construction managers, while private owners and construction managers responded similarly. These results provide documented evidence of organizational similarities and differences that are, in some cases, intuitively perceived to exist. A summary of the study results is also highlighted.
