Abstract. The article focuses on the identification and classification of key risk management criteria that represent the value creation
and protection aspects for the construction industry. Nowadays, the assessment of the risk level of a construction project is especially
important for the quality of construction projects as well as the growth of enterprises and the sector. To establish the most important
criteria for the successful growth of the construction sector including value creation and protection aspects are developed.
Keywords: risk, system, model, construction, value creation, aspects.
Introduction
Enterprises implement different projects to achieve goals stipulated in their organizational charter. However, timely
completion of such projects is rarely successful despite the reached financial and qualitative goals. One of the most
important factors that lead to the incompletion of most projects is the lack of attention to the effects of risks, the
aggregated effect of which becomes a major hurdle. In other words, the interactions among risks lead to the aggregated
effect, which is greater than the total effects of individual risks.
1. Risks assessment
Risk assessment (Zavadskas, Turskis, & Tamošaitiene, 2010) in an environment involves a systematic and
comprehensive methodology for quantifying the probability of the occurrence of a particular adverse event and the
magnitude of the associated consequence of its outcome (Tamošaitienė, 2019; Zavadskas, Turskis, & Tamošaitiene,
2008b; Chan & Wang, 2013; Tamošaitienė, Zavadskas, & Turskis, 2013). In an environment, risk assessment faces
different types of uncertainties that can be accounted by theories of probability, possibility, game and fuzzy set,
respectively. The former type of uncertainty is often referred to as objective or stochastic whereas the latter is often
referred to as subjective or state-of-knowledge.
Strategic objectives of an enterprise are accomplished through portfolios of risks. However, the materialization of
portfolio risks may affect a portfolio's success and in the same time implemented the success of the activity (Ghasemi,
Sari, Yousefi, Falsafi, & Tamosaitiene, 2018).
In life, each situation brings together many types of
risks (Environmental Protection Authority, 2009; Project
Management Institute, 2012; Zavadskas, Turskis, &
Tamošaitienė, 2008a; Kumar, Singh, & Gregory, 2016;
Zeleňáková & Zvijáková, 2017). Risk management
approaches depend on the context of the risk environment
and the business activity, i.e. construction (Figure 1).
Each activity fields have some specification for the
risk assessment. Risk assessment process and requirements
in presented in several documents (Project Management
Institute, 2003; Chapman, 1997; Standards Australia, 2004;
