Discuss About The Construction Of Apartment In Calgary Risk?
The project mainly deals with the construction of an apartment in Calagary. It is identified that during the construction of an apartment, the project manager faces number of risks as well as challenges. In order to resolve the challenges, the project manager needs to adopt several methods or plan.
Therefore, in this paper, the project risk register is illustrated in order to reflect on various types of risks that the project manager faces during construction. The paper also analyses project risk in order to develop risk response plan for resolving the challenges that are faced during construction of the apartment.
