The Built Environment Industry Practice covers construction, engineering, architecture and design

Effective risk management, complying with laws and regulations and implementing a successful governance framework are all essential for the built environment industry to thrive.

Key risks need to be identified in the early stages of development, so that processes can be put in place to prevent them occurring or to at least lessen the severity of impact.

Getting the balance between strategy and oversight is challenging; companies need to be complying with the laws and regulations whilst maintaining a high standard of ethical conduct.

Monitoring and reporting on risk exposures, escalating issues from operational management right up to the board level and working within a successful governance framework can help achieve this balance.

At the heart of these activities are the people leading the process; recruiting professionals who understand the importance of oversight is crucial.
