Valuation of Risk Management in Construction Projects Through the Use of Feedback Mechanisms

Abstract

Experience feedback data can have different types depending on the civil engineering sector for example experimental measurements, expert information, visual observation, these formats can provide several different practices for capitalizing on experience feedback, processing and finally valuation of the information capitalized for the diagnosis. The current article addresses the application of experience feedback to construction sites. As we shall argue, if the concept of experience feedback is applicable it would appear that the devices implemented in the construction sites are not taken into consideration and that, consequently, this sector faces significant risks. This present study enables us to propose an approach to improve experience feedback by taking into account the existence of different practices in a construction site. We shall argue that the implementation of a safety case makes it possible to promote the creation of a communication link between community of practice centered around experience feedback (REX) which systematically promotes the improvement of the practice of this device.
