Description

Did you know that 70% to 90% of the problems/challenges encountered on most construction projects are predictable and preventable? Carrying out a risk analysis at the onset of any project will highlight many of these challenges and increase the chance of completing the project successfully. This hands-on workshop enables project managers to considerably reduce the time they spend putting out fires and as such increase their productivity.
