Abstract

The study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the risk management process in public building procurement systems in South- East, Nigeria with a view to developing an effective risk management framework for public buildings in the study area. It was a desktop survey as the study was effected via literature review and a direct observation and walkthrough evaluation. The study was conducted in South-East Nigeria specifically: Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia, and Ebonyi for a period of 6 months. There are two methodologies used in this paper. The first is reviewing secondary data in order to develop the conceptual framework. Then, a set of pilot questionnaires was distributed to 50 organizations with 40 returned answers to validate the conceptual framework. This paper presented an integrated conceptual framework to manage risks in public building procurement systems in South- East, Nigeria. The framework covered the process in risk management in public building procurement. A  set of questionnaires was distributed to organizations to validate the conceptual framework.  The findings showed that avoiding the risk is the best risk management technique that has the greatest impact on cost reduction in construction companies.  The study concluded that in order to improve the chance of success and reduce these potential risks associated with building construction projects in Nigeria, risk management that is guided with the above framework should be an important part of the decision-making process for a construction enterprise. Based on the findings, the study recommends a risk management index for an effective risk management process for public building procurement options in Nigeria.
