N2 - It is widely recognised that the broker-type subcontracting system creates non valueadding layers in the project delivery team. Several industry reports point to the establishment and maintenance of a construction subcontractor registration system. Having a more informed framework for tracking subcontractor capabilities and performance is no doubt significant to the industry, as it could help eliminate the inherently unsuitable subcontractors from participating in the construction process and hence cut down on the amount of reworks or abortive works. However, as there are different categories of specialised trades and the nature of work vary between the labour intensive and plant intensive subcontractors, engineering judgement of decision-makers is called upon when evaluating the candidates. Case-based reasoning being a decision approach built upon the notion of reusing experiential knowledge may provide a rational yet flexible means for establishing the decision criteria for evaluating subcontractors of different kinds. In this paper, the development of a prototype case-based construction subcontractor registration model including the mechanism of the system and case features is presented. © 2006 Civil-Comp Press.
