This risk register template is free to use and makes completing, updating and sharing risk registers for your construction projects simple and reliable.

Construction projects are risky business. There are a number of internal risks which can be mostly controlled for; external party risks associated with other stakeholders and companies on projects; and external uncontrollable risks such as market fluctuations which are largely out of your control but can still be mitigated through smart management and planning.

The mechanism or 'form' for managing construction project risks is the risk register. Construction companies and teams outline the risks associated with a particular project before and during the life of a project in a risk register. The risk register documents the types of risk - along with important accompanying information and data such as:

1. The likelihood of the risk eventuating
2. The impact of the risk if it does occur

So that you can allocate resources effectively to best manage, mitigate and take preventative measures on these risks.

Your risk register forms part of the initial risk assessment of a project, which forms the overall proposal, brief or business case. This complete risk register for construction template comes pre-built with all the fields you need to properly build and manage a risk register for your construction projects.
