The concept of a hybrid computerized decision support system for the evaluation of construction contractors' suitability to perform the work associated with a project is presented. Previously developed decision tools are summarized and justification for the creation of such a system is proposed. The system configuration is described along with the modelling techniques available for each aspect of prequalification decision-making.
