Abstract

This paper describes new interactive mental models applied to the pursuit of Construction Management (CM) project opportunities using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM). The CM-FCM models provide a basis for new decision support tools capable of providing Construction Industry Practitioners (CIP) support throughout the Project Life Cycle (PLC). It presents two novel CM-FCM models based on real-world construction engineering and management experience, specifically designed to support key decisions in the PLC. The interactive CM-FCM validates the application of FCM to this domain and demonstrate a method capable of helping manage the complexity and uncertainty inherent in construction management. The models offer a foundation for interactive intelligent decision support tools to assist with construction management.
