Managing construction project risks is considered as compulsory for any project to be successful.

Upon finishing this study, there are several findings gathered. The types of risks found are classified into few categories which are physical risk, construction risks, design risks, political risks, financial risks, legal â€“ contractual risks and environmental risks. The level of risks for each category is then shown using qualitative risk matrix analysis tables.
