ABSTRACT
Construction projects are facing several risks that and have negative effects on the project such as time, cost
& quality. Risk management is an important field of the construction industry. Many companies often
establish a risk management procedure in their projects for improving performance and increase profits. No
project is free from risks. The accomplishment of project success in the construction industry mainly depends
upon the level of risk. The main objective of the project is to identify the risk and provide the best solutions
using primavera risk analysis software. This study investigates risk-related responsibilities for the client,
architect & contractor. Some of the risks determined in the project are defective design, financial issues, delay
in permitting, availability of drawings, changes in codes & drawing changes in the scope of work, payment
delay, accidents during construction. The next goal is to identify risk management techniques in the
construction industry. The whole process of identification and mitigation is termed risk management. In
Construction projects are concerned with the utilization of skills, tools, techniques, and knowledge about the
activities of projects. Management of risk is examined to be the most important part of the execution in
construction management. This study has taken a real-time schedule from the construction industry and have
implemented the identified risk factors according to risk ranking from the questionnaire survey in construction
industry. Based on the risk ranking, a risk model is created in the Primavera risk analysis software for
qualitative and quantitative risk. The risk model will generate risk scoring and a risk matrix. Based on this,
the schedule to mitigate risk will be generated. We can control the risk in software and an updated risk plan
will be given to managers in the construction industry to manage risk more efficiently. It may be concluded
that the most significant risks must be managed with greater effort to reduce or eliminate their effects on the
project.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The risk has become a part of our day to today life. One such area is the construction industry. Projects
within the construction sector are categorized as fragmented, temporary & complex which brings upon
risk exposure. Risk can be described as the likelihood of an event multiplied by its extent. A risk
management plan will aid a construction industry to consider the various risks before they happen and
reduce their influence on the project. The benefits of risk management are to provide good labour
conditions and to protects from events that will cause damage to both the company and the environment.
Identify Risks— Risk is identified based on practices in the construction industry so that project managers
are listed out based on previous project experience. Based on the study we have identified some risks are
defective design, financial issues, delay in permitting, availability of drawings, changes in codes &
drawing changes in the scope of work, payment delay, accidents during construction, and cost overrun in
project
Plan Risk Responses— A risk management plan is prepared based on the outcome of a questionaries-
based survey in the construction project.
Perform Qualitative & Quantitative Risk Analysis— After the risk management plan is laid out, we have
to identify risk & rank according to its priority based on the questionnaire survey in the construction
projects. The major risk is identified by performing quantitative and qualitative methods like probability
branching, primavera risk analysis tools, etc
Implement Risk Responses—It is the process of executing risk responses using various tools and
techniques.

Monitor Risks—The above-identified risk are monitored throughout the project for project managers to
run project effectively
A. Suchith Reddy (2015) has inspected risk and its outcome within the construction field and also the
process needed for risk management. The outcome of risk is evaluated in the project and the various tools
and strategies applied to manage risk in the construction industry.
Chaitali S. Pawar et al. (2015) The risks in the construction industry have been predictable as a vital
management procedure to accomplish the project goal in terms of price, time, scope, and quality.
Qualitative risk analysis finds out the importance of trot elaborate risks. It provides a quick and distinct
illustration of risk.. the chance assessment matrix is framed in line with the collision of risks on consumer
& contractor as a result of each section of the contract could also be re- modulated study recommended a
couple of ideas to moderate construction project risks.

Srinivas. K (2015) examined a study on risk assessment ranking reports on infrastructure enhancements
within the Indian industry. Risk management may be a proactive technique to get the complete edges of
the necessary programs that are initiated in each enterprise. The appliance of higher risk management
practices aims to attain a full profit. The analysis was performed out for the chosen project by considering
half-dozen doable risks in numerous phases of the project, that square measure capable of inflicting AN
unnecessary lag within the completion of the project. various factors of the intense risks listed and
supported the feedback obtained from the participants and also the RSI was firm for every of the 35 risk
factors and a building project is subjected to risk and mitigating steps have to be compelled to be taken to
scale back the chance impact to a manageable level if the threats tend to be uncontrollable.
Danish Ali et al. (2016) Once risk is located, a quantitative or qualitative assessment of risk is carried out
and the best process to handle risk is chosen. A survey is conducted among the person to develop and
mitigate risk
Nerija Banaitiene et al. (2012) The construction industries are affecting unemployment and monetary loss.
This has led to a change in the behavior of the clients and construction companies. This leads to upgrade
quality, performance, and reduce price, and the need for project methodologies and management that can
constructively manage project risk. This paper illustrates the research in Lithuania’s construction projects
that aim to analyze the risk analysis and risk management process
Shahid IQBAL et al. (2014). This research is established on the discovery of a questionnaire-based survey
on risk management in construction in West Pakistan. 2 kinds of risk management methods are analyzed
preventive approach and remedial approach of risk in the project. The study uncovers those
monetary problems, a mishap on-site, and faulty style area units are major risks. The study facilitates the
preparation of a schedule and smart coordination to facilitate managers to target vital areas in the project
and reduce risk

METHODOLOGY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Every project has its own set of hazards that could have an impact on the project. These risks are addressed
by project risk management methods. A personal project risk is an uncertain event or situation that has a
positive or negative impact on project objectives. Scope definition, a demand for definition, estimations,
assumptions, and technical approach are all examples of technical risk. Project management, portfolio
management, operations management, organization, resourcing, and communication are all examples of
management risk. Written agreement terms and conditions, suppliers, vendors, subcontracts, and
consumer stability are all examples of industrial risk. Regulations, exchange rates, laws of competition,
legislation, and sites are all examples of external risks. The goal of risk management is to identify and
manage risks in a project. These hazards have the potential to cause the project to depart from its original
plan and fail to meet the project's goals. Because risks might arise at any time during the project, Project
Risk Management responsibilities should be completed in stages. As a result, because each project is
unique, it's vital to adjust the Project Risk Management strategy in accordance with the project's size,
complexity, importance, and approach.
3.2 AIM
The overall aim is to extend the understanding of risk management using primavera risk analysis software
and to enhance the standard of future construction industry
3.3 OBJECTIVE
The objective of the project is to spot the risks in construction comes.
• To analysis risk and to rank risk using primavera risk analysis software
• To Provide Risk Management Plan for construction industry to manage risks more efficiently.

interview setting to encourage honest and unbiased assessments. Data analysis methods that can be used
during this qualitative risk analysis include Risk data quality assessment, Risk probability & impact
assessment & Assessment of other risk parameters. Various types of risk in construction are identified and
categorized in a specified format for analysis. The risk is ranked on a scale of 1-5 in which 5 is a very high
risk. Data collection is to be done from various construction industries using the questionnaire-based
survey. Based on this risk ranking, a risk management plan has to be done. Based on the results of the
quantitative and quantitative risk analysis recommendations, it will form inputs to the Plan Risk
Responses. Data analysis methods that can be used to select a preferred risk response strategy include
Alternative’s analysis and Cost-benefit analysis. Risks should be reviewed, which policies and procedures
should be followed, the roles and responsibilities in the monitoring process, and reporting formats. Using
all the above results we have to monitor and manage the risk effectively.
Questionnaire survey is presented both personally and using google form to client, architect, and
contractor in the construction industry
After receiving the response from the different companies, a response rate is determined whether there is
an impact of risk on the project which affects the project schedule and the cost of the project.

also anticipated as well as each risk event’s likelihood and potential impact on project cost and duration.
If the project is sensitive to hurricanes, freezing temperatures, or other weather extremes, that is also taken
into account. The risk impact estimates are entered into the appropriate templates, and then Primavera
Risk Analysis applies them to the schedule to build the risk model, also called an impacted risk plan
The figure 5.3.3 represents the risk register using questionnaire survey in the construction industry
according to risk in which 30 risk factors are implemented in the risk register.
Risk Matrix is a menu item in the Edit menu that allows you to change how risks and their consequences
are rated. You can connect the risks you specified in the Qualitative tab to the appropriate project activities
in the Quantitative tab, then fine-tune their probabilities and impacts. The left window in the Risk View

• The scores entered in the allotted Risk Scoring Matrix (Probability and Impact Diagram grid)
• The Risk Scoring Matrix's risk scoring approach has been chosen (Highest Impact, Average
Impact, Average Individual Impact)
• The Probability of Risk
Each risk impact (schedule, cost, and quality, for example) was recorded.
A risk scoring matrix contains probability threshold values, a timetable, cost impact threshold values, and
any other user-defined impact threshold values, all of which are employed in the risk score calculation.
Risk Scoring is a menu item in the Edit menu that allows you to adjust how risks and their consequences
are rated. Show Risk Matrix, found in the View menu, displays a graphic representation of your risks,
both pre- and post-mitigated, to help you see how effective planned mitigation efforts are for each risk at
a glance.

The risk management strategy also establishes the level of detail for the project's risk management
technique. It also defines risk thresholds for the project based on key stakeholders' risk appetite, which
establishes the acceptable target that risk response implementation must meet.
• During the risk analysis, the next step is to record the task's 80 percentile start and finish dates. To
accomplish so, you'll employ hitherto unexplored risk analysis techniques.
• P80 start and finish dates for each job are displayed in new columns placed to the right of the Gantt
Chart following the risk analysis. The Gantt Chart shows the project plan with P80 bars (purple).
• Project team members can use the P80 bars superimposed on the original deterministic timetable to
compare the original project plan to the more realistic P80 plan. However, a fresh schedule and Gantt
Chart can be prepared utilising the P80 dates for presentation to project stakeholders.

to manage the risk efficiently
CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION
The research helps us to understand the basic concepts of risk management. From the literature study, we
understand many tools and methodologies are used for risk management. Risk management helps the
construction industry to forecast from schedule and cost overrun in projects. Some of the risks we have
discovered are the risk of bad quality material, inaccurate estimation of quantities work, cost overrun, poor
competence & productivity of labour, poor coordination with subcontractor, poor performance of sub-
contractor, and inadequacy of insurance. Through the analysis, we understand that weather and natural
disaster plays the major role of risk in the construction industry which affect the schedule and cost in the
project. Once the risk is determined, the risk factors are considered in the questionnaire survey which is
conducted in construction industries. The outcome of this exercise is to assess the risk ranking and
scrutinize risk-related reliability for clients, architects, and contractors. The risks are collated in primavera
risk analysis software to assess, examine and predict the risk impact on the schedule of the project. A real-
time schedule is fetched from the construction industry and analysed. The impacted risk factors
determined in this research are implemented in the industry schedule and assessed. The assessment enables
us to understand the actual project completion date and estimated completion date. Major risks identified
have played a role and impacted the schedule thus delaying the project completion date the research helps
us to determine the impacted risk and timeline before its occurrence. The risk management plan is prepared

and shared to project managers. Project managers can determine the impacted risk and project delivery.
This brings out efficient productivity. It also helps in avoiding the cost overrun of the project.
