Managed Risk: A Smarter, Fairer Approach to Project Delivery

The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) Playbook highlights the importance of delivering a better, fairer industry through a balanced allocation of risk.

At Baxall, we fully support this vision. We believe that effective risk management is achieved through collaboration, shared expertise and proactive planning.

Our Approach to Risk Management

Fair and proportionate risk allocation across stakeholders
Assigning risk ownership to the party best equipped to manage it
Promoting team collaboration to reduce risk and maximise opportunity
Creating a project-specific Risk & Opportunity Register from day one
Identifying opportunities alongside risks for more cost-effective decisions

Real Impact: Cradle Hill Primary School

A standout example of our risk-led thinking is the Cradle Hill Primary School education building construction project for East Sussex County Council. The inherited design posed a significant safety concern – an access road splitting the playground. By rethinking the design, we eliminated the risk entirely, delivering a safer environment for students and saving £50,000, which was reinvested into the project’s build quality instead of site overheads.

At Baxall, risk isn’t just something to manage, it’s something to understand, share, and transform into opportunity.
