When undertaking a construction project, the client and design/construction team need to consider how to minimise the aspects of the project which may create risk, during the construction, operation and redevelopment of the building.
These risks can broadly be split into a number of areas:
1. Health and safety – i.e. risk to people
During the construction phase During the operation phase At end-of-life.
2. Specification and construction considerations
Ensuring the building performs as designed Meeting insurance requirements Future-proofing the building Compliance with regulations.
