This was caused by a decreased amount of orders in the Korean CM market, which intensified order competition between companies. However, research results revealed that risks were not being systematically managed owing to the absence of risk management systems. Thus, it was concluded that it was necessary to develop standard operating systems and implement risk management systems in order to manage risks effectively. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a construction risk management system (CRMS) for systematically managing risks. For this purpose, the field operation managers of CM firms were interviewed and surveyed in order to define risk factors. Upon this, a risk assessment priority analysis was performed. Finally, a risk management system that comprised seven modules and 20 sub-modules and was capable of responding systematically to risks was proposed. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this system was verified through on-site inspection. This system allows early response to risks, accountability verification and immediate response to legal disputes with clients by managing risk records.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi9010005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,15]],"date-time":"2017-02-15T10:09:07Z","timestamp":1487153347000},"page":"5","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Construction Management Risk System (CMRS) for Construction Management (CM) Firms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kyungmo","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Innovation Durable Building and Infrastructure Research Center, Hanyang University ERICA Campus, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sannok-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do 15588, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sanghyo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Innovation Durable Building and Infrastructure Research Center, Hanyang University ERICA Campus, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sannok-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do 15588, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yonghan","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Architectural Engineering, Hanyang University ERICA Campus, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sangrok-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do 15588, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Liberda, M., Ruwanpura, J., and Jergeas, G.
