Â鶹ÊÓƵ/FMI Risk Management Survey Reveals Changing Environment

In conjunction with FMI, Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Surety Bonding and Risk Management Forum recently completed a survey of the risks that today’s construction contractors have high on their radar screens -- and the various ways that contractors are dealing with those risks.  The 83 responses that Â鶹ÊÓƵ and FMI received from 83 best-in-class companies collectively approaching $50 billion in annual volume suggest the following:

  • Today's construction risk environment is drastically different than it was five years ago;
  • Skilled craft labor shortages, contract language and subcontractor default are top risks in today's construction industry;
  • Construction firms are managing risk differently today;
  • Risk management effectiveness varies; and
  • Mitigating and managing risk has become a strategic priority.

For the full analysis of the survey's results, simply For more information on Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Surety Bonding and Risk Management Forum, contact Michael Kennedy at Â鶹ÊÓƵ of America at kennedym@agc.org.
