A risk management model for large projects in the construction phase in Egypt

Abstract

The implementation of major projects is complicated by the multiplicity of beneficiaries, owners, and all participants in the project as well as the technical overlap between the various engineering, financial and administrative works, while the specific features of the construction activity have a clear influence in shaping the nature of construction projects because the implementation processes were associated with a deep and long-term intervention in the natural environment, where construction is a burden on the environment, both in the construction phase and during the maintenance and liquidation phases: it requires depreciation of a large number of material resources. Through that, this study focused on clarifying the most important concepts of risk management and modern strategies in risk analysis and how to respond to them and monitor projects. The study then presented a questionnaire for the risks facing major projects in Egypt. Through analyzing the results of the questionnaire, a qualitative risk analysis was conducted that can be used to prioritize response to risks, in addition to conducting a Monte Carlo simulation based on theoretical foundations and providing a new process for prioritizing project risks related to sustainability, where the (Primavera Risk Analysis) program was used to clarify the impact of risks on project time and cost. All analyses are based on the theoretical background regarding risk, risk management process, and project life cycle approach in the sustainable construction sector. with the help of this study, it is possible to address ways of mitigating the harmful effects on the environment through the implementation of sustainable management in the planning of future projects and better management of current projects.

“…El enfoque de investigación se centra en el paradigma cualitativo interpretativo, por cuanto permite poner el énfasis en la comprensión de lo que sucede en su propio contexto empresarial, desde las propias creencias, valores y reflexiones, debido a sus experiencias, intereses, necesidades y expectativas, las cuales facilitarán la descripción de la realidad producto de las vivencias [13][14][15]. El método que se asumirá será el fenomenológico-hermenéutico, por cuanto se desarrollarán los procedimientos que se exploraron según el significado de las vivencias, donde los objetivos y el tema de investigación se centrarán en el significado de la experiencia de los individuos (fenomenología) y la comprensión de las acciones en su propio contexto empresarial (hermenéutica) [16][17][18].…”
