Résumé

Written by a group of academics and practitioners, this guide is for construction practitioners having to manage real projects. It shows how the risk management process improves decision making in conditions of uncertainty.

This new edition includes the input of the Turnbull report, as well as to introduce the concept of corporate, strategic business, and project level risk.

The authors cover:

a description of risk management and decision making in the context of a construction project
the human dimension
tools and techniques available to the risk analyst
the problems of procurement and finance
the practical application of risk analysis, including the principles of risk modelling and simulation, together wit case studies.

A thorough understanding of these concepts will provide the project manager with the basis for effective decision making.
