REVIEW POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CONSTRUCTION RISK

It’s easy to focus solely on the end result of your project. That said, you need to take some time figuring out what factors could potentially derail progress. Here are some of the more common sources of construction risk:

Occupational risk: The last thing you want is for one of your workers to suffer an injury on the job site. Injuries can stem from carelessness, methodologies or technologies used, inclement weather, or a third party. If you’re at all concerned about occupational risk, consider having your workers go through additional training programs prior to starting on the project.
Project risk: A lack of proper project management can throw a wrench into any job. Inadequate company policies or miscalculation of time and resources can also jeopardize your project. That’s why it’s important to take a proactive approach when it comes to construction project management.
Natural risks: You might have already identified every potential occupational, financial, contractual, and project risk. But what happens when Mother Nature unexpectedly throws your progress for a loop? It goes without saying that floods and other major storms can damage construction sites and render future work impossible.
Competition: This is another major source of construction risk. Whether your company goes after large projects or smaller-scale ones, we’re willing to bet there’s competition. For example, maybe your firm is under pressure to match price or delivery terms. Whatever the case, it’s crucial to account for competition and avoid putting profitability at risk.

Avoid the risk

While this might seem pretty self-explanatory, it’s at least worth mentioning. Let’s say that your company has an opportunity to bid on a project in an area prone to earthquakes and other nasty weather. Is it really worth all the time, money, and materials to move forward with such a project? Maybe not.

null

Transfer the risk

Accidents occasionally happen on a job site. Sure, you can certainly implement training protocols to limit the chance of a mishap occurring. Frankly, though, your best bet is to put the inherent risk in the hands of an insurance company, subcontractor, or third-party supplier.
null

Mitigate the risk

There might not ever be a day when safety hazards in construction no longer exist. However, your team should absolutely continue to invest in proper safety equipment and training. We’re not just talking about programs for workers, either. By educating high-level staff and managers, your company has a better chance of reducing dangers.
null

Accept the risk

As an industry veteran, you know that some risks are worth taking while others are not. In any case, understand that risk is a major piece to the construction project puzzle. Rework your risk management strategies if necessary, knowing that implementing them can sometimes work around the specific risk and even lessen its impact.
Here are Construction Business Owner’s expectations you should have of your risk management partner:

Contract Reviews

It’s one thing for your risk management partner to simply meet the compliance requirements. It’s another to include a comprehensive contractual risk transfer analysis. Many construction companies don’t realize that this is the least expensive way to transfer risk.

Risk transfer analysis isn’t the only noteworthy tidbit of contract reviews. For example, if your risk management team can show the underwriter how your risk is being transferred contractually, the door may be opened to reduced rates and broader coverages.
