Every construction project might face with some problems and risks. There are many different methods to identify risks and manage them before happening. In this research, we try to use an industrial method that called Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify risks and their priority numbers. With this type of classification, it will be possible to rank risks of building construction and find effective and on time reactions for them. We used 25 high-rising buildings in Tehran as case studies and asked 100 respondents to answer questionnaires. Results have shown that FMEA is not as a familiar method to identify and rank risks in these kinds of buildings and there are some important barriers to use it. This research has gathered some effective factors to spread application of FMEA in risk management of high-rising building constructions.
