Abstract Infrastructure development and the economy heavily rely on the construction industry. However, decision-making in construction projects can be intricate and difficult due to conflicting standards and requirements. To address this challenge, the q-rung orthopair fuzzy soft set (q-ROFSS) has emerged as a useful tool incorporating fuzzy and uncertain contractions. In many cases, further characterization of attributes is necessary as their values are not mutually exclusive. The prevalent q-ROFSS structures cannot resolve this state. The q-rung orthopair fuzzy hypersoft sets (q-ROFHSS) is a leeway of q-ROFSS that use multi-parameter approximation functions to scare the scarcities of predominant fuzzy sets structures. The fundamental objective of this research is to introduce the Einstein weighted aggregation operators (AOs) for q-rung orthopair fuzzy hypersoft sets (q-ROFHSS), such as q-rung orthopair fuzzy hypersoft Einstein weighted average and geometric operators, and discuss their fundamental properties. Mathematical explanations of decision-making (DM) contractions is present to approve the rationality of the developed approach. Einstein AOs, based on predictions, carried an animated multi-criteria group decision (MCGDM) method with the most substantial significance with the prominent MCGDM structures. Moreover, we utilize our proposed MCGDM model to select the most suitable construction company for a given construction project. The proposed method is evaluated through a statistical analysis, which helps ensure the DM process's efficiency. This analysis demonstrates that the proposed method is more realistic and reliable than other DM approaches. Overall, the research provides valuable insights for decision-makers in the construction industry who seek to optimize their DM processes and improve the outcomes of their projects.
