Abstract

Completion on time, within the allocated budget, according to the specifications, and with stakeholder satisfaction is a key to a successful project. Stakeholders, including the contractor, consultant, and employer, in almost all construction projects including highways, fail to give the risk assessment due consideration in Nepal. The purpose of this study was to determine the risks related to the key road network construction in Karnali province. Using purposive sampling, a questionnaire survey was administered to the stakeholders. The opinions of the participants were evaluated under five distinct categories: public sector management risk, engineering risk, construction risk, resource procurement risk, and social risk. Based on its RII value, each heading was rated after undergoing a distinct study. Authorization to use the forest land and remove or cut down trees (RII value: 0.90) was the highest risk that was obtained. This was followed by approval to move the electric pole from within the right-of-way (RII value: 0.88), "Lack of coordination between different related organizational parties (water supply, irrigation, building department, etc.)" (RII value: 0.87), "Unavailability of material" (RII value: 0.86), and, finally, "Land acquisition and bad quality of workmanship with RII value 0.85."
