TYING IT TOGETHER - POLICY, MANAGEMENT, CONTRACTING AND RISK - AN OVERVIEW

Public works projects often suffer problems such as delays, cost overruns, settlements, collapses, public protests, and funding withdrawals. The paper recognizes that procedures for management, design, contracting and support services - such as risk mitigation- vary; it proceeds to review the relationship between some of the procedures, and recommends different approaches and urges more attention be paid to risk identification and mitigation.
