Description
Risk management is an essential part of successful construction project execution. This paper outlines: (1) Common Construction Risks, including cost fluctuations, labor shortages, legal disputes, and site accidents; (2) Risk Identification Techniques, such as SWOT Analysis, Monte Carlo Simulations, and Root Cause Analysis; (3) Mitigation Strategies, including contractual safeguards, insurance policies, and contingency funds; and (4) Regulatory Compliance & Safety Protocols, ensuring adherence to OSHA and ISO 45001 standards. Case studies highlight projects that suffered losses due to poor risk planning versus those that successfully mitigated risks through proper forecasting and adaptive strategies. The paper also discusses how technology (AI-based risk analytics, drones, and BIM) can enhance risk detection and control. The conclusion provides best practices for project managers to build resilience against unforeseen disruptions.
