The construction industry is a very competitive business and many companies who engage in this marketplace develop proprietary technology in their field. In reality, most practical day-to-day issues are very common to the whole industry. Construction engineering is a combination of art and science and has a tendency to become more the art of applying science (engineering principles) and approaches to the construction operations. Construction engineering includes design, construction operation, and project management. The final product of the design team effort is to produce drawings, specifications, and special provisions for various types of bridges. A fundamental part of construction engineering is construction project management (project design, planning, scheduling, controlling, etc.).

Construction engineering has integrated components of planning, designing, management, and construction of civil engineering structures such as buildings, bridges, airports, highways, railways, dams, etc. The past literature survey shows applications of ANN in decision making, risk prediction, project scheduling, optimization, resource allocation, etc. Moselhi et al. (1991) have enumerated the applications of ANN in the construction sector. Boussabaine and Kaka [25] conducted a literature survey on the application of ANN in construction management.

The project category, based on construction characteristics and complexity, was divided into new construction engineering (NC), renovation engineering (RE), other engineering (OE), hydropower and air conditioning engineering (HC), civil engineering (CE), airport engineering (AE), and harbor engineering (HE). NC, RE, OE, HC, CE, AE, and HE accounted for 30.9% (306), 27.5% (272), 17.0% (168), 11.6% (115), 8.9% (88), 3.2% (32), and 0.9% (9), respectively, of all the projects.
