Abstract
The difficulty of selection of contractors in Egypt as a result of multiple and different criteria to select contractors and the different relative weights from one project to another has always been the main factors of the problem. There is a need to determine selection criteria of contractors for construction projects, as well as determine relative weights of the selection criteria. This issue has been of interest for many decades and remains a contemporary subject because of the rapid modernization of construction project management. This research utilizes an investigation approach to achieve the research goals and design and perform a questionnaire to collect real-life information covering relevant parties. Results showed that, a total of (15) main criteria, (67) sub-criteria were investigated as the most important criteria. The most important criteria are “experience, working schedule, bid specific, general information & registration details and management & organization of the contractor”. It is very useful to practitioners intending to engage in construction projects in the Middle East due to the similar trends and current practices. The paper concerns with providing construction managers and professionals with recommendations in pursuit of better evaluation of constructors in Egypt and Middle East.
