| Summary: | In construction project management, the contractor plays a primary role. Selection of the contractor is a matter of concern for clients as this is a key player who ensures better performance of a project. This paper structurally investigates the literature from credible databases and renowned journals from 2000 to 2018 in matters related to contractor selection. This investigation sets to accomplish three objectives. Firstly, it includes the identification of criteria and sub-criteria and their organization into a proper classification. Secondly, it highlights the types of decision-making techniques applied in articles published on contractor selection. The third objective covers a detailed investigation of current saturation and gaps of this area of study around the globe. The findings of the research are critically discussed in the light of the literature. As very limited work has been carried out in the area of contractor selection, this paper fills this gap in knowledge in the context of a structured review. |
