Research Description
Construction projects face many risks that can impact cost, schedule, and quality. To prioritize the most critical risks, a multicriteria decision analysis method like the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is useful. AHP provides a structured framework
to evaluate risks across diferent criteria and determine their overall priority. This enables focusing risk management eforts
on the highest impact risks to cost, time, and quality. Construction projects in Egypt face many risks that can impact cost,
schedule, and quality. This research applied a multi-criteria decision analysis method called the analytic hierarchy process
(AHP) to identify and prioritize high-impact risks for construction projects in Egypt. The study considered criteria such as
cost, time, and quality when evaluating risk factors. Statistical modeling illustrated the process of investigating and identifying the risk factor with the most signifcant potential impact. The fndings indicate that the lack of clear delegation of
responsibilities for professionals to allocate activities is the most critical risk factor for construction projects in Egypt. And,
efective risk management should focus on mitigating this risk to avoid negative impacts to project performance.
