Several months back, Tze Ling Ng requested help from our members to identify how much Risk Management Assessement was used in the early phase of construction projects, as part of her Masters Disseration. TzeLing has now completed her Masters - with Distinction! - and is happy to share her findings with us.

Here is a summary of her conclusions:

"The research question of this dissertation was to find out whether ‘a professional project manager working on projects in the construction industry actually finds Risk Management assessment beneficial during the conceptual stage’ and the aim is to determine how many professional project managers in the construction industry, especially those that provide construction project management or has project managers in their organisation that actually uses Risk Management in their projects, especially during the conceptual stage of a construction industry life cycle, where conduct of Risk Management will be the most beneficial. After analysing and comparing the results in Chapter 5, it is found that there is a significant discrepancy on the reason why Risk Management may not be provided at an early stage."
