  • Project Management advanced Planning

    Construction schedule premortem

    Surface schedule risk early using a premortem before committing to a plan.

    Act as a senior construction planner. Assume the attached construction schedule failed badly and the project finished 3 months late.
    
    1. List the 8 most likely root causes, ranked by impact.
    2. For each, give an early warning sign to watch for.
    3. Rewrite the critical path to remove the top 3 risks.
    
    State any assumptions first. If key information is missing, ask up to 3 clarifying questions before answering.
  • Estimating & Takeoff intermediate Estimating

    AI estimating assumptions check

    Forces explicit assumptions and self-rating so estimates are auditable.

    Act as a quantity surveyor. Before producing any cost estimate for the scope below, list every assumption you are making (location, year, unit rates, wastage, market conditions, exclusions).
    
    Then produce the estimate as a markdown table: Item | Qty | Unit | Rate | Total. Add a contingency line and a total.
    
    After answering, rate the estimate 1–10 for completeness. If under 10, revise and repeat until it is a genuine 10/10.

  • Generative Design intermediate Design

    Early design options brief

    Generates comparable early-stage options with explicit trade-offs.

    Act as an architect using generative design. For the brief below, propose 3 distinct massing options.
    
    For each option provide: concept in one line, approx GFA, key trade-off, and one risk.
    
    Think step by step about site constraints before proposing. Return a markdown table, then a 2-sentence recommendation.
