Foreword
The construction industry is frequently more risky when compared to other business industries because of the complexity in coordinating various activities. Each project is unique, comprising different means and methods, techniques, and procedures. The core elements of project success are to meet the time, cost, and quality targets. In order to achieve these targets, risk may appear in many ways and could result in time overrun, budget overrun, financial losses, loss of life, environmental damage, and many more failures. This book provides comprehensive information and addresses various topics related to the construction of a contract/project. It also provides awareness regarding how to analyze and manage construction risks to achieve targeted goals. The book is a practical guide for all those professionals who are involved in the construction process in Canada and internationally and also for undergraduate and graduate engineering students who intend to join the construction industry.
