Construction Risk Frequently Asked Questions

It’s the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that could impact construction projects, workers, property, or operations.

It helps uncover vulnerabilities early, reduce costly delays, improve site safety, and enhance operational efficiency.

Risks include worker injuries, extreme weather, equipment breakdowns, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory non-compliance.

While insurance transfers financial risk, our services focus on preventing incidents and minimizing losses before they occur.

The four main types of construction risk are:

  1. Financial Risk – Risks that affect project costs, including budget overruns, unexpected expenses, and payment delays.
  2. Operational Risk – Risks tied to daily operations, such as equipment breakdowns, labor shortages, or schedule disruptions.
  3. Environmental and Safety Risk – Hazards from extreme weather, unsafe site conditions, or regulatory safety violations.
  4. Contractual and Legal Risk – Risks from disputes, non-compliance with contracts, or changes in regulations.

Effective construction risk management identifies and mitigates all four to protect budgets, timelines, and safety.
