ABSTRACT
The construction industry is a vital sector that contributes to the economy’s development. On the other hand, it also contributes to the natural environment through emissions and waste. Moreover, the construction industry is under pressure to develop and adopt new technologies, tools and practices. A proper tool for selecting innovation is needed. This paper presents MCDA tool for construction companies, namely the Bellinger method. The proposed tool facilitates decision-making because it helps to choose between alternatives.
