The risks may include:
Undersupply of requested materials.
Engineers not working according to specifications.
Construction of your project in a non-proactive manner.
Poor safety and hazard prevention procedures.
Lack of zeal and general lackadaisical attitude leading to low morale on site.

Solutions: Employ a capable project manager.

1:First analyse all what you have on ground...
2:Secondly sought out the few threats you can find yourself..
3:Decided and see if you can bear them yourself when they occur...
4: after bearing the ones you can bear, look for a competent insurance company and transfer the rest of the risks to...


It helps a lot.

Serious countries have taken into consideration the study and ubdertaken of engaging specialist in the field of Occupational hazards, risks and safety coined as OHRS.
Pity our country Nigeria, assume such is generally unnecessary. Except in blue chip companies like the oil sector and perhaps power also.

Basically in construction, OHRS, SHEQ is a must have before tenders or contracts are granted as they are mandate and part of pre-requisite for contract consideration.

Op, to answer your question, contractors must have or designate a trained and certified personnel specifically in SHEQ, OHRS to supervise amd manage risks and safety issues in construction.That is his/her portfolio and answerable to accident ( hopefully none) issues on site.

ensure all materials are of high quality. and put your design to test in extreme conditions to see how it behaves before construction.

Risks may come from any aspect of construction at any time of the process. It's important that you identify those risks well in advance. Get people who have experience in construction - owners, builders, even work men - consult with them and develop your risk register.

Risks are not always bad either. There are good risks - opportunities, and bad risks - threats. Ask yourself what are the things that could go right or wrong but aren't necessarily a given.

You want to treat your threats by -

transfer: making someone else own the risk by paying a fixed fee at no extra cost to you if the risk eventually comes up. Eg insurance, fixed contracts, or monitoring your project by turn key

Avoidance: eliminating the risk by removing the risky process entirely where it is not necessary. Or buy most of your material in advance, if you have free storage room, to avoid fluctuation of prices. Avoiding construction in the rainy season to avoid delays due to bad weather. Etc

Mitigation: for processes that are 'high risk', ensure you use the most experienced hands. Do not try to save cost only to end up paying a lot on repair and workarounds


Opportunities, you want to exploit. They may include sales promos, freebies etc.


For some risks, you can decide to have no plan and decide to deal with them when they arise (acceptance). Therefore you should put aside a contingency cash reserve (as well as time reserve). This caters to residual and unforeseen risks. That way, you have in effect dealt with them in advance. If they do not arise and their timing has past (eg a risk in foundation did not arise and you've gone on to roofing level) then you have that money back. But if they do arise, you have the fund to deal with them immediately without causing delays that may result in further risks.

Watch your risks to see which ones become critical, know the timing (when to expect their occurrence), assess their impact to see where they should rank on your list.

Re: What Strategies Can Be Used To Reduce Of Risks During Construction? by Frankgoz(m): 7:50am On Oct 31, 2016
OP to minimize site hazards, ensure you have a good Civil Engineer on site who is site safety compliant. All construction workers must wear protective covering ranging from gloves overalls helmets etc. Ensure that their is a site safety manual strategically displayed on site 4 all to see. Monitor artesans strictly cos they are much more less safety conscious. Avoid engaging foremen as site engineers all in d name of cutting cost.
If it is a medium or large scale project engage the services of a project manager.

Interesting topic :
.
.
I will briefly summarise :
.
.
1. Make sure your land (site) is secured with necessary documents.
2. Make sure you consult a good architect for your proposed building . ( making sure all the required drawings are well stamped and approved )
3. Make sure you consult a good Quantity Surveyor ie costing and estimation of building materials and labour.
4. Do a market survey and research.
5. Consult an Experienced Engineer .
6. Ensure You follow the right procedures in terms of buying standard materials necessary for the construction.
7. Continuous Site supervision by the architect.
8. Make sure the building drawings , and necessary building approval payments are made.
9. I will stop here for now
10. Etc

Pleas can you or anyone you know help me with a job or graduate internship you know of?

I am a HND holder with Upper Credit in Civil Engineering Technology.

During my 1 year Industrial Attachment i worked in support of the project superintendents ensuring they have all necessary plans, materials and equipment needed on site. These activities have developed my skill in organizing and taking responsibilities for managing an activity.

During a three week training for a Safety Management Officer role at CBMI (Sinoma) Construction Company, i experienced occupational health and safety, environmental management and risk management. In addition, my conceptual and analytical skills when assessing technical issues and ability to demonstrate independent judgment were proven.

Consulting an Architect(Chief consultant on building projects), who has as added advantage, project management certification, I.e PMP. That puts you to bed.
