Therefore, the choice of the company, on an issue that should be addressed carefully and taken into account. In this regard a good research should be done, it should be chosen the right path for the project. In the project, there are lots of participants and designers have the biggest role. They are active in many areas such as the detailed design of the project, up to the preparation of specifications and supervision in the field cost estimate files. To complete a certain professionalism framework of the project depends to a large extent included in the project design team. For all these reasons, designer selection is one of the most important issues for the project preparation stage. In order to take the right decision at this stage should be resorted to various methods. Otherwise, it may be difficult to decide or wrong decisions. This study identified several criteria in the selection of the mechanical designer. In the selection stage, company's experience and references, their offer price, qualified status of their members operate within, the main issues are considered in the previous projects, the quality of the design they have done and rate of the errors to be considered in the selection process. Four decision makers were asked to make points for alternative companies from and two methods in line with these data are used. Analytic hierarchy process is used for making the first model to decide. Analytic hierarchy process is a technique used to solve the problems with many of the main and sub-criteria. In accordance with the criteria weight is given to alternative offers a solution using their points. For analitic hierarchy process technique, Super Decision software is preferred. Later, evidential reasoning method that helps in deciding on using the Intelligent Decision System (IDS) software is used. At the end of the study, a comparison of these two software is made and interpreted. Finally, the results obtained from the softwares and the project management company's decision which the data is taken compared.
