Risk Management in the Built Environment
Risk Response Planning, Monitoring and Control
A standard framework for the decision making process where the importance
of the change dictates the extent and formality of the assessment,
documentation, review, consultation and approval stages.

Review
Note that implementing the
change effectively is the most
important step, since it is only at
this point that the risk is
reduced.
Risk Management in the Built Environment
Risk Response Planning, Monitoring and Control
• The options available to address risks will be based on one or more of the
‘4Ts’ risk response actions: Terminate, Treat, Tolerate, Transfer.

Terminate
•
Risk termination or avoidance centres on changing the project plan
to eliminate the risk or to protect the project objectives from its
impact.
•
Although not all risks can be totally eliminated some may be avoided by
taking this pre-emptive action.

Transfer
•
Risk transfer is seeking to move the consequence of a risk to a third
party together with ownership of the response.
•
Transferring the risk does not eliminate it; it simple gives another party
responsibility for its management.
•
This is the most effective way of dealing with financial risk exposure
and can be by a contract to another party or by payment of a premium
in the case of insurance.

Treat
•
This strategy seeks to reduce the risk probability or its impact by taking
early action to reduce the occurrence of the risk to an acceptable
limit.
•
Risk mitigation may take the form of implementing new processes,
undertaking more preliminary work or selecting more stable suppliers.
•
Risk mitigation can also include changing conditions so that the
probability of the risk is reduced, by adding resources or time to the
programme.

Tolerate
•
This strategy indicates that the project has decided not to change the
project plan and to deal with a risk or is unable to identify any other
suitable strategy to adopt.
•
Risk acceptance may also occur when the cost of dealing with
it would not be cost effective.
•
In this event the development of a contingency plan to execute should
the identified risk occur is a natural step.

Reject
•
In addition to the 4T’s is the action to Reject the risk if considered
that it will not be a threat to the project.
