Without a doubt, the most important element of any project is how to handle risk. Risk is a normal part of everyday life, but some people handle risk better than others. The same applies for property developments, because those who manage their risk better than others are more likely to succeed. So where does RiskSMART come in? We’ll get to that in a moment…but first:
Why is Risk so important?
Risk is the ever-present, and all important fear that something might go wrong. Each step along the way to completing a project has individual elements of risk. Furthermore, each of these small elements of risk can add up to a higher level of risk. The higher the risk, the higher the chance that something can go wrong. But it is not all gloom and doom. Risk can be managed, and risk can be mitigated, such that the level of risk can be minimised to acceptable levels. The risks to a property development proposal include a range of issues, not least of which is the risk of getting council approval in a timely manner. And that is where we at Planning Insights can help you to manage the level of risk with your property development.
