Mitigating Risks Through Collaborative Delivery
During the preliminary design or preconstruction phase of a project, developing a risk registry in parallel with the design, scope development and costing, gives the owner and the collaborative delivery firm a clear understanding of potential risks and their potential effects on delivering the final project.
If the owner and the firm practice true collaboration during this phase, they can discover risks early and have them addressed by whichever party is best suited to resolve the issue.
We know problems can be complex when working in these existing sites, but with collaboration these risks can be diminished. Most often there will be a design resolution to each construction challenge and a construction resolution to each design challenge.
