Abstract

The construction industry is one of the most important sectors in the economy of each country. However, it has been noted with a multiplicity of problems that have negative impacts on efficiency, productivity and quality. While these problems are being tackled in the developed countries using advanced decision support systems, knowledge of such systems applied to construction projects in developing countries is sketchy. Being a general introductory chapter, this chapter will sign-post everything covered in this book.
