Risk Assessment of Construction Projects in Full-process Engineering Consulting Using Analytic Hierarchy Process

Abstract

Full-process engineering consulting is an essential path to promote the transformation and upgrading of China's engineering consulting industry, and it is also an inevitable choice for China's engineering consulting industry to integrate into the world economy and enhance its international competitiveness. In recent years, various risk events triggered by full-process engineering consulting construction projects have occurred frequently. These incidents have not only caused significant losses to the construction projects themselves, hampering the high-quality development of the full-process engineering consulting industry, but many of the risks from full-process engineering consulting construction projects have even threatened societal safety and stability. Through literature review, the Delphi method, brainstorming, and other methods, this article deeply analyzes the risk factors in the critical links of full-process engineering consulting construction projects, constructs a risk assessment index system, and uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for a comprehensive assessment of the risks. It gauges the risk level of the projects and seeks effective measures to control risks, thereby reducing risks in full-process engineering consulting construction projects and further promoting the high-quality development of China's full-process engineering consulting industry.
