The term ‘mitigate’ means to make less severe or serious.

This can be used in the construction industry in s number of different circumstances.

* In relation to project delays, it refers to minimising the impact of the risk event (an event or cause of delay or disruption). For example, acceleration might mitigate a delay. Where there is a claim for an extension of time, the contractor may be required to mitigate the delay and any resulting loss, even where the fault is not their own.
* In relation to disruption or inefficient working, it refers to minimising that disruption or inefficiency.
* In terms of losses incurred, it can refer to claimant's duty to mitigate their loss. A claimant will generally not be allowed to recover damage which could have been avoided had the claimant acted reasonably. For more information see: Mitigation of loss.
* In relation to planning policy, planning obligations or planning conditions might be used to mitigate or compensate for the negative impacts of a development. For more information see: Planning obligation and planning condition.
* In terms of risks, a contingency plan might be enacted to mitigate project risks, such as adverse weather, industrial disputes and so on. For more information see: Contingency plan.

Mitigation strategies might also be used in relation to:

* Environmental impact.
* Loss of habitat.
* Carbon emissions.
* Flood protection.
* Duty to warn.
