For the third year in a row, COAA Owners participated in the annual FMI Survey of Owners.  The focus of this year’s study was on understanding how program- or project-level risks are assessed or managed prior to or during project execution (planning through turnover) and how they impact an Owner’s overall capital program.  FMI analyzed the frequency of occurrence and severity of impact of specific risks, and more broadly, how Owners tend to manage construction risks by electing to use certain strategies, tactics or processes.  FMI found that on average, 61% of the time, Owners are accepting and managing risks, 22% of the time they are accepting and transferring risks and the balance of time they avoid risks. To download the survey (PDF) members may log in to the members-only section of the website and visit "Industry Resources/Links."
