This document discusses risk management in construction projects. It begins by defining risk and explaining the importance of risk management in development projects. It then reviews the results of a survey on risks affecting construction projects in India. The top three risks identified were financial issues, site accidents, and inadequate planning. The study found that contractors are typically responsible for risks occurring during project execution, like issues with subcontractors or quality, while clients are responsible for risks like financial issues or changes to specifications. The best preventative risk management strategies identified were thorough planning using past project data and experience. The best corrective strategies once risks occur were close monitoring and coordination of activities. The document concludes that thorough planning and strong coordination during implementation are key to better managing projects
