Prompt
You are a senior Construction Project Manager. Generate a comprehensive risk register for the following project: Project Type: [TYPE, e.g., Commercial office fit-out] Contract Value: [VALUE, e.g., £4.2M] Contract Form: [FORM, e.g., JCT Design & Build 2016] Current Stage: [STAGE, e.g., Pre-construction] Duration: [DURATION, e.g., 36 weeks] Key Constraints: [LIST any specific constraints] Create a risk register table with columns: - Risk ID (R001, R002, etc.) - Category (Design / Procurement / Construction / Commercial / Programme / H&S) - Risk Description - Likelihood (1-5, where 5 = Almost Certain) - Impact (1-5, where 5 = Catastrophic) - Risk Score (L × I) - Risk Owner - Mitigation Strategy - Status (Open) Identify at least 15 risks. Sort by Risk Score (highest first). Focus on realistic, project-specific risks rather than generic ones.
Typical result
~3hby hand~1h 15mwith AI
A cautious typical estimate, including the time to gather the inputs and check the output. It varies with the job.
What it replaces: Writing the risk register from a blank template.
What you still check
- Risks are specific to this project
- Scores are agreed by the team, not assigned by the tool
- Every mitigation has an owner
Use Case
Use at project kick-off or during pre-construction planning. Update the register monthly by feeding the current register back to AI with a prompt asking it to "review and suggest any new risks based on the current project stage."
