This paper discusses a more structured model for the decision-making process with regard to management material process, through the application of the multicriteria decision aid method as a support in one model. The management material process has assumed great relevance due to its strategic role on reducing costs and pushing up the construction companies' technological and organizational innovation. The basic question to be considered is how the material classification can be done using multiple criteria. The model was applied in a building site, through the application of the ELECTRE TRI multicriteria decision aid method, with the aim of categorizing the material in three classes.
Civil construction; material management; decision process; ELECTRE TRI
