The construction industry is undergoing significant transformations. Owners are exerting greater pressure on project costs and timelines, simultaneously modifying contract terms to shift more risk onto contractors at all levels. Moreover, contractors are securing more projects while dealing with a shortage of skilled labor and fewer experienced field supervisors. These factors, when combined, present unprecedented risks to field productivity, work quality, safety, and working capital.
It is clear that a paradigm shift is needed in the way builders perceive and manage risks in construction. Contractors are adopting a more proactive and comprehensive strategy that encompasses the entire spectrum of potential risks. This includes not only those that can be covered by insurance but also those that are non-insurable and require careful consideration and mitigation.
At RISC, we recognize the urgency and importance of addressing these evolving risk management needs in the industry. Our 2024 agenda has been designed to bring together industry experts, thought leaders, and stakeholders to explore the latest strategies, best practices, and innovative solutions in construction risk management.
RISC is an unparalleled opportunity for professionals in the construction industry to gain valuable insights, network with peers, and collaborate on finding effective risk management solutions. Together, our carefully curated agenda aims to guide you in navigating the challenges of the current construction landscape with confidence. It encompasses strategies employed by top risk management professionals to effectively identify, manage, and mitigate risks in a rapidly changing environment.
Join 750+ project owners, general contractors, subcontractors, developers, insurers, insurance agents, brokers, infrastructure specialist and attorneys as we forge a path towards a more resilient and successful future in the face of ever-changing risks in construction.
