Stakeholders | Behavior Risk Number | Behavioral Risk Factors | Behavioral Risk Factors Description |
---|---|---|---|
Owners (S1) | R1 | Difficulty in paying funds | Owners are difficult to finance, lack of fund preparation, and lack of willingness to pay. |
R2 | Proactive change request | May directly lead to a chain reaction in the construction process and increase the direct and indirect cost of the project and quality risk. | |
R3 | Untimely compensation for immigrant | Improper immigrants easily cause public resentment and anger, and there are problems such as insufficient investment in immigrants. | |
Designer (S2) | R4 | Design Changes | Incomplete design drawings and lack of communication with the construction party and construction unit resulted in changes. |
R5 | Poor immigration planning and design | The difficulty of immigrants has not been considered, as well as whether it can meet the expectation of immigration, resulting in backward work and other problems. | |
R6 | The design does not consider ecological protection | Designers lack environmental awareness or ignore environmental issues to save costs. | |
Contractors (S3) | R7 | Project not delivered on schedule | Contractors have their own uncertain factors, as well as the actual construction and the planned progress of deviation. |
R8 | Construction costs exceeded budget | The actual construction cost exceeds the planned cost due to mismanagement, malicious low bids, price fluctuation, and other reasons. | |
R9 | Construction quality not up to standard | Lax supervision of construction materials and shoddy phenomena occur, easily causing engineering quality and safety accidents. | |
R10 | Inappropriate construction safety measures | Without scientific safety production, standardization, and standardized management of the site, there are safety risks on the site. | |
R11 | Poor awareness of environmental protection | The environment of the construction site is not managed, resulting in air, water, and ecological pollution to the surrounding environment. | |
Supervisor (S4) | R12 | Lack of timely implementation monitoring | Delayed supervision of the site and failure to rectify hidden dangers in time lead to project risks. |
R13 | Irregular supervision process | The supervisor and the contractor conspire to pursue their own interests and lower the project quality standard. | |
Material & Equipment Suppliers (S5) | R14 | Substandard quality | Use sub-standard materials and equipment instead of quality standard equipment to provide maximum benefit to the contractor. |
R15 | Lack of timely supply of material and equipment | Material shortage, suppliers do not perform their own responsibilities, and material supply is not timely. | |
R16 | Supply price adjustment | As market prices rise, suppliers take the initiative to increase the agreed supply price, resulting in disputes with contractors. | |
Government (S6) | R17 | Policy changes and adjustments | Changes in national laws and regulations and other relevant documents cause local governments to issue the latest policies for governance. |
R18 | Call off construction | As the project is not up to standard and is in violation of laws and regulations, the government directly stops the construction rectification. | |
R19 | Poor coordination skills | Due to the lack of capacity of government personnel, the coordination of various parties cannot be well completed. | |
Immigrant (S7) | R20 | Create public opinion | Dissatisfied with the immigration plan, the media and other means are used to protect their rights and create relevant public opinion. |
R21 | Disrupting construction sites | Dissatisfied with the immigration scheme, some immigrants may take relatively radical actions to disrupt the construction site. | |
R22 | Not cooperating with demolition | Not being satisfied with the compensation or emotional reasons for not moving may prevent the project from starting. | |
Environmental Departments (S8) | R23 | Not strictly enforcing environmental standards | Some law enforcement officials conspire with contractors to pursue their own interests and lower environmental enforcement standards. |
R24 | Request for additional environmentally friendly structures | The construction process lacks the relevant environmental protection facilities; the environmental departments require that it be increased. |

Type | Risk Factors | Stakeholders | Response |
---|---|---|---|
Core Factors | R1 | Owners | (1) Establish sound rules and regulations for fund management and standardize the basic accounting work of construction projects. |
(2) Financial supervision, financial management, and fund control must be integrated into the project establishment and feasibility study stage. | |||
(3) Strengthen the management and control of project price settlement to prevent the occurrence of over-estimation, over-calculation, and false claims. | |||
R4 | Designer | (1) Fully understand the requirements of the owners and timely communication to ensure the feasibility and accuracy of the program. | |
(2) The quality department guides the design department to sort out the workflow to ensure that design changes are at a controllable level. | |||
R7,R8 | Contractors | (1) Make a good construction organization and design plan, establish the target system of progress control, and clarify the personnel of progress control. | |
(2) Conduct technical and economic analysis, determine the best construction plan, combine construction methods, and reduce material consumption costs. | |||
(3) Hold regular construction progress coordination meetings and adopt network planning techniques to implement the dynamic control of project progress. | |||
R12 | Supervisor | (1) Supervisors should stick to their posts, conscientiously perform their supervisory duties, and not slacken their work. | |
(2) Strictly control the quality of construction, check the quality of raw materials and intermediate products, and do a good job of side stations and acceptance work. | |||
R17,R18 | Government | (1) Policy changes and adjustments should be in line with the actual situation and should not be changed casually. | |
(2) Calling off construction cannot be a temporary notice; the site during the suspension of work needs to urge the contractor to rectify and implement the existing problems. | |||
R20,R21 | Immigrant | (1) Actively express your demands with the relevant departments, exercise your rights legally and reasonably, and make efforts to cooperate with the relevant departments to do your duty. | |
(2) Rational view of the project construction; shall not use force or false public opinion to defend rights; use the law to reasonably defend rights. | |||
Ranking | Key Relations | Response | |
Key Relationships | 2 | S7R22→S6R19 | The government should actively coordinate with the immigrants, owners, and other parties involved in the project to solve the problem to achieve a balance of interests. |
30 | S5R14→S3R9 | Contractors should strictly control the quality of materials and equipment; the quality does not meet the standards to accept and use; prevent the construction quality that is not qualified. |
