Amidst rapid urbanization, investing in sewerage systems has gained growing attention from researchers and practitioners seeking sustainable urban development. However, managing risk factors in construction contracts for such projects remains challenging, often causing higher costs and administrative burdens. This study aims to identify and evaluate major risk factors associated with sewerage construction projects in Vietnam and to propose strategies for improving contractual risk management. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 80 practitioners from water and sewerage companies in Ho Chi Minh City, and statistical analyses were applied to assess their perceptions. The results indicate that delays in final settlement, poor control of scope changes, and lack of standardized contract management procedures are the most critical risks. Moreover, significant differences were found among practitioners regarding these factors. The study provides valuable insights into contractual risk management and practical implications for enhancing sustainable project delivery in Vietnam.
