Construction projects are exposed to the various risk factors through their life-cycle due to their unique and complex nature. Risk factors in the construction projects can be either country or project related, which may significantly affect the predetermined construction project objectives regarding time, budget, orscope. Therefore, it is inevitable to develop risk mitigation strategies to manage risk factors in advance. There are various risk management methods to manage construction risks, yet this study encompasses lean construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM) concepts with construction risk management. In this sense, the construction project's specific ten specific risk factors that affect the achievement of the project objectives are identified through the literature. Then, lean construction and BIM concepts are introduced in brief. Finally, construction risk management and lean construction concepts are integrated by the construction experts' interviews to explore how lean construction and BIM will eliminate uncertainties in construction projects. The current study's primary purpose is to demonstrate the most effective lean construction and BIM concepts to mitigate construction project risks. According to the results obtained from the expert interviews, lean construction and BIM principles including “go and see”, integrated project delivery and transparency are the most effective principles for the mitigation of the construction project risks.

Cash flow analysis of construction projects using fuzzy set theory Melik, Serhat; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Construction industry is a one of the most risky sectors due to high level of uncertainties included in the nature of the construction projects. Although there are many reasons, the deficiency of cash is one of the main factors threatening the success of the construction projects and causing business failures. Therefore, an appropriate cash planning technique is necessary for adequate cost control and efficient cash management while considering the risks and uncertainties of the construction projects. The m...
Development of a knowledge-based risk mapping tool for International Construction Projects Yıldız, Açelya Ecem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) Due to its high-risk nature, international construction projects are more vulnerable to adverse changes in project environment and company objectives. To achieve successful project outcomes, early provision of risks has a vital place in managing construction projects. Within the literature, several risk assessment methodologies have been offered to simulate probable consequences of risks. The majority of the proposed methodologies are limited in reflection of real project conditions as they require probabil...
Risk assessment of international construction projects using the analytic network process Bu-Qammaz, Amani Suliman; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) This thesis offers a comprehensive risk assessment methodology that provides a decision support tool, directed for Turkish construction organizations, which can be utilized through the bidding decisions for international construction projects. Within this context the analytic network process technique is implemented to develop a risk assessment model, which is used to derive the relative priorities of the risk factors associated with international construction projects. The findings of the risk assessment m...
Case-based reasoning model for the management of design related changes in design-build construction projects Özgüneş, Aydın; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2016) Project changes constitutes to an important problem in construction projects which are unavoidable and may appear at any stage of the construction. Most of the time, project changes cause conflicts between the parties and end with change orders or claims that lead to time and money losses. Moreover, design related changes, which can be defined as variations related with the design process of the construction project, are referred as one of the most frequently seen project change types in construction projec...
Incorporating complexity into risk management:an integrated risk assessment process formega construction projects Erol, H. Hüseyin; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-12-11) Complexity and risk are inherent components of mega construction projects due to their unique characteristics. However, existing project management practices fail to incorporate complexity-based thinking into risk management. The lack of integration between complexity and other risk-related concepts leads to unrealistic risk assessments, ineffective management strategies, and poor project performance, which decrease the belief in risk management as a value-adding process in projects....
