Describes the approach and results of a regional survey to assess the accessibility of sexual health services for young people in the south-east Thames region. Outlines the practicalities of performing such a survey and what can be achieved through t...

Attributes of UK construction clients influencing project consultants’ performance (1994)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Kometa, S. T., Olomolaiye, P., & Harris, F. C. (1994). Attributes of UK construction clients influencing project consultants’ performance. Construction Management and Economics, 12(5), 433-443. https://doi.org/10.1080/01446199400000053

Despite numerous efforts to understand construction clients and their priorities, evidence abounds to suggest that they are largely misunderstood and dissatisfied with the performance of their consultants and contractors. The perception of poor perfo... Read More about Attributes of UK construction clients influencing project consultants’ performance.

Incorporating project specific criteria and client utility into the evaluation of construction tenderers: Choice of contractor should be made on a value-for-money basis, rather than automatically accepting the lowest bid, the aim should be to accept the best tender. This paper helps selection contractors broaden their analysis (1994)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Holt, G. D., Holt, D., Olomolaiye, P., & Harris, F. C. (1994).

A conceptual model for selecting construction contractors which utilizes the multi-attribute analysis technique has been developed. Project specific discriminating criteria included in the model are identified, along with respective weightings to mir...

Applying multi-attribute analysis to contractor selection decisions (1994)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Holt, G. D., Olomolaiye, P., & Harris, F. C. (1994). Applying multi-attribute analysis to contractor selection decisions. European Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management, 1(3), 139-148. https://doi.org/10.1016/0969-7012%2894%2990003-5

Contractor selection is made onerous by the existence of many decision parameters and several outcome options. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the multi-attribute analysis (MAA) technique facilitates this decision task in being able to evaluate a...

Disproof of a Conjecture in the Domination Theory (1994)
Journal Article
Zverovich, V. E., Zverovich, I. E., Zverovich, I., & Zverovich, V. (1994). Disproof of a Conjecture in the Domination Theory. Graphs and Combinatorics, 10(2), 389-396. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02986690

In [1] C. Barefoot, F. Harary and K. Jones conjectured that for cubic graphs with connectivity three the difference between the domination and independent domination numbers is at most one. We disprove this conjecture and give an exhaustive answer to... Read More about Disproof of a Conjecture in the Domination Theory.

Evaluating prequalification criteria in contractor selection (1994)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Olomolaiye, P., Holt, G. D., & Harris, F. C. (1994). Evaluating prequalification criteria in contractor selection. Building and Environment, 29(4), 437-448. https://doi.org/10.1016/0360-1323%2894%2990003-5

A quantitative model for selecting construction contractors which utilizes the multi-attribute analysis technique is being developed. Prequalification criteria for inclusion in the model have been identified and weightings to mirror their respective... Read More about Evaluating prequalification criteria in contractor selection.

A theoretical model for determining equipment service life: Quantitative method of determining the likely incidence of breakdowns over a period of usage of a piece of equipment while on the construction site as an AID to estimators, planners and site managers (1993)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Harris, F. C., & Olomolaiye, P. (1993). A theoretical model for determining equipment service life: Quantitative method of determining the likely incidence of breakdowns over a period of usage of a piece of equipment while on the construction site as an AID to estimators, planners and site managers. Building Research and Information, 21(4), 243-245. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613219308727305

The early results indicate that the exponential decay function when operated graphically serves as a straightforward and relatively simple means of predicting likely equipment breakdown, i.e. downtime. More research, however, needs to be done to demo...

A conceptual alternative to current tendering practice: Majority of UK construction projects assigned by way of selective competition, an alternative quantitative selection technique has been developed by the authors which could equally apply elsewhere (1993)
Journal Article
Olomolaiye, P. O., Holt, G. D., Olomolaiye, P., & Harris, F. C. (1993).

The research to date has borne a fundamental decision aid model to assist the construction owner in choosing a contractor. The model is currently being stabilized and validated. A comprehensive survey has been carried out to verify the variables and...
