Regulatory and Environmental Issues:

Risk: Failure to meet environmental regulations can result in fines or project
stoppage.
Mitigation: Conduct comprehensive environmental impact assessments and ensure
all necessary permits are obtained in advance.

4. Financial Risks:
Risk: Cost overruns, fluctuating currency rates, or contractor insolvency can impact
project budgets.
Mitigation: Maintain a contingency budget, conduct thorough contractor financial
assessments, and employ fixed-price contracts where appropriate.

5. Construction Delays:
Risk: Unplanned events like bad weather, labour strikes, or equipment breakdowns
can cause delays.
Mitigation: Develop a robust project schedule with built-in buffers, maintain
alternative suppliers and subcontractors, and invest in equipment maintenance.

6. Quality Issues:
Risk: Substandard materials or workmanship can lead to long-term maintenance
issues and increased lifecycle costs.
Mitigation: Implement a rigorous quality control and assurance process, use trusted
suppliers, and conduct regular inspections.

7. Safety Concerns:
Risk: Accidents or injuries on site can cause human tragedies, project delays, and
legal complications.
Mitigation: Prioritise safety training, enforce strict safety standards, and conduct
regular safety audits.

8. Stakeholder and Community Issues:

Risk: Resistance or opposition from local communities or other stakeholders can
hinder project progress.
Mitigation: Engage in early and continuous stakeholder consultations, conduct public
awareness campaigns, and develop a grievance redressal mechanism.

9. Contractual Disputes:
Risk: Ambiguities in contracts can lead to disagreements and potential legal battles.
Mitigation: Draft clear and concise contracts, seek legal advice during contract
formulation, and consider alternative dispute resolution methods.
10. Supply Chain Disruptions:
Risk: Delays in material delivery or shortages can halt construction.
Mitigation: Maintain multiple suppliers, stockpile critical materials, and monitor
supplier performance regularly.

11. Inflation and Market Volatility:

Risk: Fluctuations in material or labour costs can exceed budget allocations.
Mitigation: Use contracts that account for price adjustments, hedge against currency
fluctuations, and monitor market trends.
