Key risks in construction
- Missed deadlines and budget overruns on large projects.
- Contractor risks: a contractor walks away, goes bankrupt or does poor-quality work.
- Disrupted deliveries of equipment and materials.
- Problems during installation and commissioning.
- Regulatory requirements and the liability of SRO members.
How business continuity helps
BCM turns these risks into specific plans: what to do if a contractor drops out or a delivery fails, and how to keep key processes running and meet obligations to the client. The basis is a business impact analysis (BIA) and a business continuity plan (BCP) tailored to construction.
- Backup contractors and suppliers for critical work.
- A plan for switching over and communicating with the client during a disruption.
- Managing project risks to the schedule and the budget.
For SRO members, systematic work on risk and continuity is also a way to show clients and partners that they are reliable.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a construction company need a continuity plan?
So that a supply failure, a contractor walking away or another disruption does not stop the project. Backup options and the steps to take are known in advance. This protects the schedule, the budget and the relationship with the client.
Is this only for large developers?
No. Even a small contracting firm benefits from having backups for critical work and a plan in case a key partner drops out.
