Determine the Most Important Construction Risks and Know the Degree of Their Impact on Construction Projects in Iraq

Abstract

By performing the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) V26 and statistical analysis, this study aims to identify, evaluate and examine risk variables that may impact construction projects in Iraq. The reliability and internal consistency of the factors were tested using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, where Cronbach's alpha for this research was in the range of 0.923, which provides a strong indicator of the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. The relative importance index will be used to measure the degree of these risks. Field, personal and survey interviews were used to obtain these data. The survey consists of two components, the first of which is a sample of general information, and the second part discusses the possibility of risks occurring, having an impact, and the identification of 44 factors. The census results showed, by analyzing the responses from 44 workers, that only 15 factors significantly impacted the occurrence of risks in construction projects in Iraq. These factors affected the project objectives in terms of cost, time and quality, which led to the project not being completed on time. In addition to increase the cost of construction due to failure to take risks into account.
