| Summary: | This article discusses the use of the Delphi Method in construction management research. This method consists of the cumulative search for consensus among experts on particular complex issues through successive questioning. Two research studies are described in which this method was applied as a way of capturing knowledge from experts and increasing the research internal validity.
