Abstract

Risk is present everywhere, every area of life. In construction, the risk is always present. The Risk Assessment for Construction Industry is a complex task which requires the consideration of many parameters which are, difficult to quantify. Risk Assessment in the construction industry is unbridled with inadequate data and incomplete information, particularly in the early stage, for which traditional risk approaches do not give adequate answers. The methodology selected for risk management is, distributing a questionnaire to the various contractors’, Engineers and construction consultants. A detailed study is performed to conduct a risk assessment by incorporating Mamdani’s “Fuzzy Inference system” for better understanding and evaluation of construction risks.
