Learn to identify common construction project risks and how to respond to proactively address them.
Construction projects are defined by three critical elements, the work or scope of what is to be built, the timeframe or schedule in which to build it, and resources or budget needed to pay for it. All three of these contain elements of risk that are unique to construction projects. Many of these risks are inherent in the construction environment that is characterized by VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) effects and compounded by the large number of suppliers and subcontractors involved in most construction projects.
This presentation will present ten construction project risks. It will identify the elements of the risks, discuss the risk analysis based on likelihood and impact, then discuss risk response options. While it is unlikely that one construction project will be plagued with all ten risks, most projects must address at least half the risk items. Of course, not addressing the risks proactively does not make it go away, it just means that the reactive response will likely be higher cost, longer delay, and jeopardizes the quality of the work.
