摘要：
This paper is concerned with risk management in construction SMEs. It argues that risk management is not limited to large companies. Despite financial limitations SMEs can deal with their own risks successfully, though in some cases with a bit of help from experts or members of the supply chain. The paper looks at the case of a small construction company in the UK at reasonable detail hoping that it will show the way to other SMEs. It is shown that managing quality helps with an appropriate approach to risk management where enterprise or company-wide risk management gains a head start.
