The paper presents a new approach to help designers and developers select the most appropriate light-weight space structure construction system for a specific project. The new approach makes possible a comparative evaluation of the available construction systems, in light of project's constraints and objectives. The decision maker is provided with a ranking of the alternate construction systems respectively.
