A comprehensive risk evaluation method for sustainable building construction

Effectively mitigating the risks associated with sustainable development is a key problem when building in developing nations. This method requires businesses to act following moral and ethical standards while balancing financial goals. Stakeholder consensus is critical for executing sustainable risk management, which strives to reduce risks while increasing possibilities. The research focuses on sustainability concerns in Iraqi construction projects, with the primary goal of identifying reasons causing project delays using a comprehensive framework and rigorous methodology. The initial stage of the approach is gathering data from several construction sites. To assess project risks, the weighted product approach was employed, which included factor scores from prior research to create structured questionnaires that were then used to study the influence of various aspects. To establish the significance of each aspect, the relative relevance index was used, and Delphi expert consultations were held to provide additional insights. Historically, Iraq's construction sector has disregarded risk management and restrictions of finance. The project hazards were assessed using surveys, expert comments, and exploratory research. Logistic challenges were also considered in the assessment process. Microsoft Excel made performance evaluations easier, and MAT F5 obtained the highest rating for sustainable materials in WPM's risk assessment. Furthermore, equipment output has emerged as a critical aspect in guaranteeing technical compliance. This study introduces a structured risk evaluation approach for improving sustainable construction practices in developing countries.
