Enhancing risk management in construction projects

Modern construction projects are increasingly expansive in scope, cost, and complexity. 

As these factors rise, so too does the associated risk.

New materials, sustainable practices, and advanced technologies are enabling projects to reach new heights of ambition. However, effectively quantifying, managing, and mitigating risks — while also contending with geopolitical uncertainties and supply chain disruptions — has become more important for construction industry businesses aiming to successfully deliver projects and plan for future growth.

To address these challenges, Marsh has developed a range of innovative products that provide accurate insights and analysis at the touch of a button. These tools enhance risk awareness and support businesses to make informed, data-driven decisions on risk management.
