Module Description

Risk management in the Construction industry has evolved significantly over the past years. This module provides an in-depth understanding of the best practices based on different views and practitioners’ experiences. The module provides the knowledge and skills required to analyse and mitigate against any risk that arises over the life cycle of a construction project to keep the project on track and in line with pre-determined goals.

Managing risk should be primarily a proactive exercise, it should take part of the planning process to identify and quantify risks and put in place safeguards taking into account the severity and probability of the risks Risk management module covers different types of risks applicable to various types of construction projects. On large-scale construction projects, risk management strategies include extensively detailed plans to ensure mitigation strategies are in place. For smaller projects, risk management might mean a simple, prioritised list of high, medium and low risks and associated action plans.
