Each construction project has its own features that make it unique, though they all share the common dilemma of managing risks of uncontrollable, yet predictable factors governing the construction environment and the total project output. These factors range from natural ones like weather, to psychological ones like motivation, to country wide factors like market conditions. In the last few years construction industry all over the world propagated to an extent, that it may now be considered the world’s largest industry, this propagation added to the susceptibility of the industry to the variation and uncertainty of its ingredients. The construction industry investments now presents a larg proportion of the GNP of many countries, more and more complex projects are being executed, multi- disciplinary projects whose cost are in billions of dollars are executed daily all over the world. All these considerations make risk analysis the back bone of any feasibility study in the construction industry. |
