Throughout this course, you have assessed how the choice of project delivery system is linked with the amount
of risk each stakeholder is willing to assume. Consider the following hypothetical scenario as you analyze the
role of the construction manager in terms of risk mitigation:
In order to deliver cutting-edge cancer treatment, Beijing Hospital has unveiled plans to modernize and expand
its cancer treatment center. The project entails updating the existing 10,000 square foot space, as well as
adding three additional floors. The new structure will add 30,000 square feet to the treatment center. The
existing structure will be updated with a new outpatient chemotherapy suite comprised of 12 treatment rooms,
a pharmacy with support spaces, a separate oncology suite with 10 examination rooms, administrative,
medical and counseling offices, and a roof-top meditation garden.
With the Beijing Hospital scenario in mind, respond to the following questions in a 600- to 900-word paper:
As a construction manager for the private owner of the hospital, which tools will you utilize to minimize the risk
incurred by the owner?
Now, view the same scenario through the lens of a construction manager for a government owner. How does
this change your risk mitigation strategy?
Finally, are there unique criteria construction managers must consider when working on projects based in
China? Articulate any risk factors that may be unique to the Chinese construction industry
