A Review On Risk Management Implementation in The Construction Industry
A Review On Risk Management Implementation in The Construction Industry
Abstract
One of the most progressive and challenging industries in Malaysia is the construction industry. This is the industry where the risk
considered when a construction project is conducted is more significant compared to the risk in other types of economic activities.
Furthermore, in preventing unnecessary loss and obtaining more profits, Risk Management (RM) is one of the elements in construction
which are essential in creating a successful construction activity globally. This paper mainly aims to examine the application of risk
management in this industry and to recommend this process for companies where this process has yet to be applied. 60 articles dated
from 2007 to 2017, which are associated to the implementation of risk management in the construction industry, are the basis of the
review in this study. Qualitative method was implemented in 66.67% of these articles, while quantitative method was implemented in
this rest of them. Subsequently, risk management process is found to be important, especially during the occurrence of risk in a
construction project. Besides, it also poses a significant impact on the success of construction project especially during the rise of risk.
Risk management also holds a crucial role in making accurate and appropriate decision in the planning of construction. As a result, a
clear state after the implementation of risk management and approaches for acknowledgment of the arising risk is gained.
