Development of risk management framework in Malaysian landscape project

The nature of landscape projects that is dynamic, complex, fast-tracked, and with subjective outcome exposes the projects to a high degree of risk. This project risk could potentially become a critical issue that hinders the project from achieving its objectives. Risk management widely practised to...
