Opportunities & Risk Management (ORM)
At KJM, we have flipped the standard system of Risk Management, which relies on identifying risks as the first approach, and instead, we focus on the Commercial Opportunities followed by the Risks.
We strongly believe that every project represents an opportunity to showcase your company knowledge, skills and resources in order to develop long-term relationships and thus repetitive business.
With 18 years of sector-wide experience across various construction projects, we have been fortunate to compile a database of information allowing KJM to provide detailed Commercial Risk Registers for our clients.
ORM involves a planned and systematic approach to identify, evaluate and manage the opportunities and risks involved on a Construction project to maximise Commercial Opportunities and reduce Risks.
