The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has found wide application for multicriteria decision making (MCDM) in various areas. In the paper is given a short survey of the AHP application for decision making in the construction industry and realisation of construction projects. Authors have proposed a method based on the eigenvalue and eigenvector of the fuzzy comparison matrices for determination of local and global priorities of decision alternatives. These eigenvalues are determined using expected values of fuzzy numbers and their products. These fuzzy eigenvalues and eigenvectors are in further procedure applied for ranking the alternatives. Comparing the final ranks of alternatives, obtained according to proposed method and some other methods, the authors found good agreement. The fuzzy AHP, in comparison with ABP with crisp numbers, gives more complete, flexible and realistic results. A case study of the optimal selection of the structural system for a large industrial hall is present...ed in the paper.
