Managing Pre-Construction and Construction Risks on Project Sites in Abuja-Nigeria
Abstract: Managing risks in
construction projects has been acknowledged as a key direction process for the
purposes of attaining the project goal in terms of time, cost, quality, safety,
and environmental sustainability. Hence, the paper evaluated pre-construction
and construction risks on active project sites in Abuja-Nigeria. This was
achieved using survey method through the self-administration of 35
questionnaires to the professionals handling the 35 identified projects being
undertaking at that time. Results showed that errors and omissions in design
and improperly defined project scope had mean score values of 3.03 and 2.54,
respectively, were the construction risks most experienced by the professionals
during pre-construction. On the other hand, fluctuation in market prices and
delays with mean score values of 3.14 and 2.74, respectively, were the
construction risks experienced by the professionals during the construction
phase of the projects. It is recommended that procurement methods such as
construction management should be adopted and stakeholders should keep to their
own side of the bargain to avoid unnecessary delays.
