| Abstract | High-rise building project is considered as a complex project which includes various kinds of activities, system and involved parties. From beginning to end, the construction process is complex and characterized by many uncertainties. Likewise, it is a problem which cannot be overlooked. No identified and responded risk cause failure in effectively applying construction management concept. However, this thesis would like to concentrate on preventing only recurrence of similar risks in Bangkok high-building project. Preventing risk recurrence certainly contributes to improving company profits since most risks are known to recur when projects have similar characteristics to past experienced project such as location, size and type of project. This study was conducted by interviewing Thai project manager to identify possible risk for Bangkok high-rise building projects. Acquired list of possible risks were filled in questionnaire which was used to assessment degree of recurrence and degree of impact to project of these risks. Questionnaires were distributed to seventy two engineers who have more than three years construction experience. Only fifty two questionnaires were responded and considered as valid data. Then high relative importance recurrent risks with high degree of recurrence and impact were identified and analyzed by factor analysis to assign their weight. From result of this analysis, top ten recurrent risk were indicated. These acquired risks should be paid more attention to identify their causes, called risk factor. So their risk factors were identified by discussed with six Thai projects managers who have construction experience more than ten years. Relationship of risk factor and risk was illustrated by relevant diagram and helpful for project manager as risk alarm. |
