商品描述

This volume describes risk management practices in the construction industry in selected countries, with an emphasis on developing countries and how these countries can learn from the practices in more developed ones. Risk management in the construction industry can be difficult to understand due to the various complex procedures that are involved and to the unique concerns and contexts associated with each project. The industry has been a key contributor to the economic and social development of many countries of the world and is increasingly incorporating sustainability into its practices. However it is plagued by various risks that can affect the quality, cost, time and overall sustainability of projects. Therefore, there is need to effectively manage risk in order to ensure timely completion of construction projects in good quality and within budget, which in turn results in more efficient and often more sustainable practices.
The book is divided into four parts. The first section features a primer on risk management practices as they pertain to the construction industry. The second part dives in to describe risk management in selected developing countries, including Malaysia, Qatar, Saudi-Arabia, South Africa, Sri-Lanka and Tanzania, as well as the city of Hong Kong. The third section describes the construction risk management practices of a selection of more developed countries with known risk management institutes and established practices of risk management. These countries include Australia, Canada, Sweden and United States of America. The fourth part offers a general overview of the definition, concepts and process of risk management based on reviewed literature. It also discusses the benefits of effective risk management to clients and to project teams, especially from the perspective of ensuring sustainability. This last section also summarizes the risk management practices in both developing and developed countries for the purpose of improving the practices in the former by learning from the latter.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書描述了選定國家建築業的風險管理實踐,特別強調發展中國家以及這些國家如何從較發達國家的實踐中學習。由於涉及多種複雜程序以及每個項目所特有的關注點和背景,建築業的風險管理可能難以理解。該行業對許多國家的經濟和社會發展貢獻良多,並且越來越多地將可持續性納入其實踐中。然而,它也受到各種風險的困擾,這些風險可能影響項目的質量、成本、時間和整體可持續性。因此,有必要有效管理風險,以確保建築項目能夠按時、高質量且在預算內完成,這反過來又能導致更高效且通常更可持續的實踐。

本書分為四個部分。第一部分介紹了與建築業相關的風險管理實踐的入門知識。第二部分深入描述了選定發展中國家的風險管理,包括馬來西亞、卡塔爾、沙烏地阿拉伯、南非、斯里蘭卡和坦尚尼亞,以及香港市。第三部分描述了一些已知風險管理機構和成熟風險管理實踐的較發達國家的建築風險管理實踐,這些國家包括澳大利亞、加拿大、瑞典和美國。第四部分根據已審查的文獻提供了風險管理的定義、概念和過程的一般概述。它還討論了有效的風險管理對客戶和項目團隊的好處,特別是從確保可持續性的角度來看。最後一部分還總結了發展中國家和發達國家的風險管理實踐,旨在通過向後者學習來改善前者的實踐。
