A recorded webinar on "Contingency Allocation for Large Infrastructure Projects" is now available in the 'Webinars' section on our community website.  

Topic Summary

While Risk Analysis has been used predominantly in finance and insurance industries, its use in construction industry is maturing. As raising capital becomes increasingly competitive, organizations are looking at ways to optimize their cash reserves with the use of project risk management best practices. Over the years, public agencies had been allocating contingency to the projects based on empirical methods. Recently, some agencies have embraced Risk Management as a tool to identify, qualify, and use quantitative risk models to determine risk based contingency. This presentation discusses the life cycle of a risk management process, which has been helping projects in reducing uncertainty and proper forecasting of total project costs.
