Abstract
The decision-making process is critical to the success of any construction project, construction personnel make decisions related to their duties every day and justify these decisions. Wrong decisions can disrupt the project in terms of time, quality, cost and relationships and can even impose exorbitant costs. On the other hand, design, engineering and construction include complex decisions with high uncertainty, so special attention should be paid to this part. The main goal of this research is to determine the dominant model of the decision-making process of experts in construction projects. In the first step, decision-making models will be identified through library studies, and then their decision-making processes will be determined by attending construction workshops and interviewing experts in the field of construction. In the next step, by communicating between the decision-making processes of experts and decision-making models, the most used model is determined through coding؛ In this research, based on the conducted research, the 3 dominant models used in the decision-making process of expert project managers are: the contingency model, the multi-criteria decision-making model, and the classic model.
