Abstract

 In this paper, a model for evaluating and ranking constructive projects will be presented. This model is based on six key criteria and a conceptual framework. These main evaluation criteria include: good history, equipment and machinery, management and technical staff, economic - financial skills and experience, and scientific and technical capabilities. These criteria and their weights were derived from previous studies. The vagueness of the linguistic terms in the evaluation process required employment of fuzzy numbers. Then, the fuzzy PROMETHEE method was used for ranking the projects. To test the model and as a case study, contractors of Mehr housing projects in Hashtgerd new Town were ranked. This model can be used for evaluating and ranking contractors for various construction projects.
