The construction industry is characterized by high levels of technical complexity, significant variability in processes, the involvement of multiple stakeholders, and a strong dependence on external factors. These characteristics make construction projects particularly susceptible to uncertainties and undesirable events, creating an inherently high-risk environment. In this context, risk management emerges as a fundamental discipline for the effective delivery of projects and is currently recognized as one of the central pillars of project engineering and construction management. Over the past decades, the approach to risk in the construction sector has evolved substantially. Whereas risk management was previously based mainly on empirical experience and reactive problem-solving, it is now grounded in scientific models, probabilistic analyses, and integrated information systems, enabling organizations to anticipate, quantify, and mitigate threats in a structured and preventive manner. This article presents an in-depth analysis of technical, financial, and operational risk management in construction projects. It examines the historical evolution of risk management, its conceptual foundations, the main categories of risk, and the contemporary methodologies applied in practice, aiming to contribute to the improvement of professional practices and the consolidation of scientific knowledge in the construction industry.
