  • Abstract:

    This research aimed at investigating the risk identification behaviour of a large sample of Egyptian and International contractors who participated in the execution of two major power plant projects in Egypt. The results revealed that contractors’ previous experience with the owner had a significant effect on the number of exceptions taken by contractors and consequently on their risk identification behaviour. Moreover, contractors’ risk identification efforts varied widely among different nationalities. A marked lack of consistency was observed, where only a few contractors were 100% consistent in their risk identification efforts. Furthermore, the results demonstrated clearly that bidders did not include in their proposals the "true" lists of exceptions which represented genuine risks to them - a considerable difference was noted between the exceptions submitted with proposals and the actual modifications included in the final contract document.
