Purchase cart Previous page Return to chapter overview Next page

 

There are a number of ways in which risks, liabilities and obligations can be allocated between the two main parties to a contract, i.e. the employer and the contractor. Total investment costs are influenced by the risk / reward strategy that is adopted in a particular procurement. Contracting and pricing strategy permits the employer to allocate risk to the party that is best able to manage the risk.

 

CIDB Construction Procurement Best Practice Guideline A5 (1005), Managing Construction Procurement Risks, establishes desirable and appropriate risk management practices.
