Construction management processes are focused on technical aspects with minimal consideration for social factors. Among these is trust, which has a prominent impact on project efficiency and success. According to a Construction Industry Institute study, among the factors impacted by low trust are efficiency and administrative costs. Trust is defined as "a hard edged economic driver" that affects speed and cost-two of the three pillars of project management. Preliminary data in the literature, provides evidence that trust is ignored in construction management. To address this gap, this paper identifies trust's impact on construction bidding processes as perceived by professionals. The adopted research methodology utilizes a survey instrument to identify important parameters upon which selection processes depend, and characterize industry professionals' view about trust's effects on the process. The results indicate that trust, even if not explicitly stated, plays a major role in such processes. Furthermore, there is a direct correlation between trust level and contractor/subcontractor selection among all project delivery methods. The results emphasize the impact of trust on bidding strategies and provide decision makers with better understanding of their actions.
