With infrastructure and economic problems, Iraq has special challenges relative to managing building rehabilitation costs. This research aims to identify those factors and accurately determine the weights by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process as a prioritized tool. A literature review, case studies, consultations with experts, and questionnaires were used to identify and categorize 57 factors into six categories. The study offers useful insights for decision-makers in the construction industry by showcasing the efficacy of AHP in impartially evaluating the relative importance of these factors. Building characteristics are found to have the highest weight (0.306) in the results of the AHP analysis, highlighting their importance in cost management choices. Prioritizing elements for building rehabilitation cost management in Iraq also involves safety and environmental considerations (0.093), project management issues (0.170), design and bill of quantities issues (0.220), and planning and contract management elements (0.155).

摘要

With infrastructure and economic problems, Iraq has special challenges relative to managing building rehabilitation costs. This research aims to identify those factors and accurately determine the weights by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process as a prioritized tool. A literature review, case studies, consultations with experts, and questionnaires were used to identify and categorize 57 factors into six categories. The study offers useful insights for decision-makers in the construction industry by showcasing the efficacy of AHP in impartially evaluating the relative importance of these factors. Building characteristics are found to have the highest weight (0.306) in the results of the AHP analysis, highlighting their importance in cost management choices. Prioritizing elements for building rehabilitation cost management in Iraq also involves safety and environmental considerations (0.093), project management issues (0.170), design and bill of quantities issues (0.220), and planning and contract management elements (0.155).
