What is construction risk management?

There are many different areas where risk can occur within a construction project. It’s not just limited to safety. There are other types of risks that can succeed or fail the project such as financial, contractual, stakeholder, environmental, personnel, and competitive.

Knowing where risk might come from, knowing the different categories of risk, is it threat or opportunity, and knowing how to plan to respond in a timely manner, is called construction risk management.

How do you develop a risk management plan?

According to PMI, Project Management Institute, there are six steps to develop a risk management plan: plan, identify, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, plan response and monitor risk.

What are the drawbacks of not having a risk management plan?

Not having risk management or poor risk management has the ability to severely impact your business. Whether that’s through a delay to project benefits impacting your revenue and profit streams, or unrealized benefits, overspent budgets, late-running project, client's dissatisfaction, reputational damage or project failure. Poor risk management is something you can’t afford.
