How to Minimize Construction Risk
Minimizing construction risk requires you to do everything in your power to reduce exposure to an unfavorable outcome. It sounds simple when defined, but in reality, there are several levels that contribute to minimizing risk.
As you already know the ability of contractors, subcontractors, and customers to manage risks contributes largely to the success of a project. To minimize construction risk, you can manage a foreseen risk to the point where its probability is greatly reduced by allocating it to the party that is best equipped to bear it.
Construction contracts are a very important tool for minimizing risk. They should be carefully prepared and reviewed; ideally, they must contain allocation of risk responsibility.
