risk management in the construction project management context is a comprehensive and
systematic way of identifying, analyzing and responding to risks to achieve the project objectives.
The study concludes that during the project, risk monitoring and control is the processes of keeping

was also ensure the execution of the risk plan and continually evaluate the plan’s effectiveness in
reducing risk. Resource allocations can also be monitored as these were have been pre-planned
and, where appropriate, allocated to the agreed actions. The study concludes that risk response is
the action to be taken towards the identified risks and threats. The response strategy and approach
chosen depend on the kind of risks concerned. Other requirements are that the risk needs to have
a supervisor to monitor the development ofthe response, which was agreed by the actors involved
in this risk management process.
