ABSTRACT
The paper investigates the implications of risk management on sustainable construction projects in Zimbabwe. Using a cross-sectional survey design involving structured questionnaires distributed to 90 civil contractors, the study gathered data on the risk management implications of sustainable construction projects' success. Using mean scores, and Pearson correlation, the results indicated that the prevalent implications of risk management on sustainable construction projects success include, customer satisfaction, timely delivery, and reduction of the possibility of projects getting redundant. The study concludes that risk management improves the attainment of success in sustainable construction projects. Hence, governments are recommended to institute the mandatory undertaking of risk management to improve the success of sustainable construction projects. The results have the potential to inform policy, education, and strategic governmental decisions that enable the alignment of construction projects to the sustainability drive. However, the results should be applied in other contexts with extreme caution.
