Abstract :The purpose of this study is to investigate publications utilizing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods in construction management to identify their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats through a SWOT analysis. A variety of academic search engines was used to systematically search publications between January 2019 and May 2022 for this purpose. An in-depth analysis of 249 articles was conducted; first, they were ranked based on academic databases, indexes, and years, then they were classified according to their major applications in construction management, and finally, a SWOT analysis was carried out. The studies demonstrate that these methods improve the consistency and robustness of decision-making; however, they mainly concentrate on macro-level aspects, which is considered a disadvantage. Even though models heavily rely on participants’ knowledge and experience, they can be eliminated by integrating perspectives from a variety of experts and professionals. Using the findings of this study, researchers will be able to plan their future original studies based on opportunities identified, as well as improve possible weaknesses and eliminate threats outlined in previous studies.
