Risk assessment is a series of processes consisting of risk analysis, assessment of magnitude of risk, judgment on whether the risk is acceptable or unacceptable, and making and assessing risk control options, to attain this goal.

Risk management includes identifying risks, assessing risks either quantitatively or qualitatively, choosing the appropriate method for handling risks, and then monitoring and documenting risks. This study ide ntifies the procedures for risk identification, management and its perception from the Indian construction industry. Time and cost management need to be fully integrated with the identification process. The aim of this study is to advise for a method of ri sk mitigation which includes a well - documented procedure which serves as a one stop - solution to all the risks that would emanate in the future. We conducted a survey research by applying a questionnaire among in the construction industry. The risk identifi cation techniques more frequently applied in construction are checklist, flowchart, Brain storming, Delphi method, Anova hypothesis etc
