Judgement analysis and decision making in property development

This thesis discusses a detailed investigation into the relationships between the decision makers' judgement of the decision making factors and the development outcomes of office and shop developments. Consequently the most appropriate method that could possibly assist in the attainment of consistent decision making outcomes is identified.
