Record what could go wrong on site, score it by likelihood and impact, and assign mitigation actions with a due date and an owner. The system reminds you when a review is due and shows risks on a matrix - so you talk about them before the problem, not after it.
Most problems on site don't come out of nowhere. Someone knew they could happen, but didn't write them down, nobody decided what to do, and nobody came back to the question in time.
The site manager knows about the groundwater and the late delivery, but it isn't written down anywhere. When he is away, nobody else knows.
An Excel register is filled in at the start of the project and forgotten. Nobody reminds you when a review is due, and serious risks go unchecked for weeks.
“We'll keep an eye on the delivery” is not an action. Without a due date and an owner, decisions from the site meeting don't get carried out and the risk reaches the site.
Every edit to the spreadsheet wipes out the old score. Months later, nobody can say whether the actions helped or how the risk got this far.
From the first entry to a closed or occurred risk, with the history of every assessment.
Log a risk with its project, category and location on site, and tick what it affects: cost, schedule, quality or safety. Every risk gets an RSK number with the project code.
Score on two scales from 1 to 5. The risk level is calculated automatically and the risk gets a colour - green, amber or red - with the scale definitions next to the fields so everyone scores the same way.
Every mitigation action has a description, a due date and an owner - a colleague or a subcontractor without an account. Overdue actions stand out immediately.
The next review date is suggested by level: high risk after 7 days, medium after 14, low after 30. The risk owner gets a reminder, and “Reviewed without change” confirms several risks at once.
On every project, risks sit on a five-by-five matrix - click a cell to see which ones are there. Next to it are active high risks, overdue reviews and unassessed risks.
Every assessment, review and status change stays in the history. Export the register as PDF or Excel with the initial and current score of every risk.
From a spotted risk to a closed or handled one in four steps.
With “New risk”, or straight from an RFI, a punch item, a meeting or a daily log with “Record as risk” - the risk stays linked to its source.
Set likelihood and impact from 1 to 5. The level and colour are calculated automatically, and a note keeps what was discussed.
Choose who tracks the risk and add mitigation actions with a due date and an owner. The system reminds you of the review and of action due dates.
A risk is closed with a note on why. If it happens, you record the date and consequences, and the actions continue as response actions.
For anyone responsible for finishing the project on time, on budget and without incidents.
See risks across all projects in one place, filtered by level, owner and overdue review.
Log the risks you see on site and turn them into actions with a due date and an owner instead of keeping them in your head.
Track safety-related risks separately from the rest and prove what was done with a full history.
Report to the client with a PDF register that shows whether the actions brought the risk down.
Why a dedicated module beats a spreadsheet:
| Feature | Excel spreadsheet | Construction Team |
|---|---|---|
| Risk level | A formula someone deletes | Calculated automatically, with colour |
| Review | When someone remembers | Date by level plus reminder |
| Actions | Text in a cell | Due date, owner, overdue flag |
| Assessment history | Gets overwritten | Every assessment is kept |
| Link to the field | None | From RFI, punch item, meeting, daily log |
| Matrix | Manual colouring | 5x5 per project, with clickable cells |
| Report | Copy and format | PDF and Excel in one click |
With two scales from 1 to 5 - likelihood and impact. Their product gives the level from 1 to 25: 1-4 is low, 5-12 medium, 15-25 high. The system calculates it and colours the risk automatically.
The review date is suggested by level: high risk after 7 days, medium after 14, low after 30, and unassessed within a week. The date can be changed manually.
The risk owner. If there is none, or they are no longer with the company, the reminder goes to someone else with access to risks, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Yes. The owner of an action can be a colleague or just a name - for example a subcontractor who has no account in the system.
A closed risk can no longer happen. An occurred risk has happened: the date and consequences are recorded, reviews stop, and the actions continue as response actions.
Yes. RFIs, punch items, meetings and daily logs have a “Record as risk” button that fills in the form from the source and keeps the link between the two records.
Yes, as PDF or Excel with the filters and sorting from the list. In the PDF, each risk shows its initial and current score.
