Some risks can be reduced through early planning, while others may need to be transferred, accepted, or monitored throughout delivery. Understanding construction project risk management helps project teams consider which response is appropriate for each situation. For example, additional investigation may reduce uncertainty about site conditions, while contractual arrangements may allocate particular risks between project parties. The chosen response should reflect both the likelihood of the risk and the organisation's ability to manage it. Regular reassessment remains important as the project develops.
