Commentary on 'Construction projects selection and risk assessment by Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS methodologies' [Applied Soft Computing 17 (2014): 105-116]

Taylan et al. [2014]. Construction projects selection and risk assessment by Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS methodologies' [Applied Soft Computing 17, 105-116] aimed at using novel analytic tools to assess the construction projects and their total risks under inexact and imprecise situations. They applied Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) to create appropriate weights for five main criteria i.e. time, cost, quality, safety, and environmental sustainability and then Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) to rank the 30 construction projects on the basis of the opinions of seven decision makers in various sectors in Saudi Arabia. In this work, some inaccuracies of this recently published article are shown and corrected.
