Abstract

 Fast-track construction projects have become more common in recent years
as a response to increased demand. The sector was known for its high-risk and highcomplexity features. Regardless of the degree of difficulty in construction projects,
the construction industry has responded to requirements for faster project delivery
deadlines to meet standards, emergency/disaster preservation, and time-to-market
constraints. The purpose of this study was to clarify risk management's role in fasttrack construction projects, evaluate how fast-track construction projects impact the
construction time of such projects, and investigate risks that might occur from
different levels of overlap. To achieve this, the paper undergone a comprehensive
literature review on several 43 papers that have been published in Scopus. The
researcher reviewed the literature for several studies, such as papers and books in
this field from 2000 to 2021. The results were: identifying accelerated techniques
and their classification; clarifying risks; risk management processes and their
classification; and clarifying risks in fast-track construction projects because of an
unfair risk distribution between the contractual parties because of specific or incorrect contract terms. This has led to a careful assessment of the scope of the
work and how the project will be executed.
