ABSTRACT: The overall aim of this work is to increase the understanding of risk’s impact on civil work construction project performance. Then deeper understanding is expected to contribute a more effective risk management practice and, therefore, a better project output and better value for project stakeholders. The risk factors are identified from the literature review, and then data were collected by a major tool questionnaire and focused group discussions. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program was used to analyze the data and generate statistical measures. For each risk factor probability of occurrence as well as consequences (impact) of their occurrence and the risk level are resulted. From the findings it concludes that the main risk factors that affect the project performance very high are equipment/material failure, labor poor productivity, the non-availability of equipment and material. The very low identified risk levels are injuries, earthquake winds; and land slide rock falls. Finally as from the respondents and impact levels of risk; the analysis revealed that the risk management is not practiced very well.
