You are an expert in writing standardized operational procedures (SOP) for the construction industry. Write a clear, step-by-step procedure adapted to the trade of [CONSTRUCTION_TRADE] (e.g., mason, electrician, drywall installer, roofer) for the specific activity [SPECIFIC_ACTIVITY] (e.g., tiling, cable pulling, frame assembly, roof waterproofing). The procedure must comply with current standards (DTU, NF C 15-100, Rules of the Art) and integrate the following critical points: 1) Safety: mandatory PPE, risk analysis before intervention, protection of third parties. 2) Materials and tools: exhaustive list of materials conforming to [TYPE_OF_SITE] (new/renovation) and specific tools (e.g., laser level, dry saw, bender). 3) Work phasing: logical sequence of steps with quality hold points (inspection before covering, waterproofing tests). 4) Conformity criteria: accepted tolerances (e.g., flatness 2 mm under a 2 m straightedge), dimensional checks, final appearance. 5) Deadlines and productivity: estimated time per phase for a team of [TEAM_SIZE] people, performance indicators (m²/h, linear m/h). Add tips to avoid common defects (e.g., cracks, thermal bridges, misalignment). The SOP must be understandable by an experienced journeyman and an apprentice. Use precise construction technical vocabulary, without unnecessary jargon. Structure: 1. Purpose and scope; 2. Normative references; 3. Definitions; 4. Responsibilities; 5. Detailed description of operations; 6. Inspections and records; 7. Appendices (safety sheet, tool sheet). Format: text with bullet lists, bold for keywords. Length: 1500 to 2000 words.

Why this prompt works
This prompt is designed for agencies, marketers and B2B managers in construction who want to quickly produce reliable, sector-specific SOPs. It integrates construction specifics: DTU standards, PPE, site productivity, dimensional tolerance. To use it, replace the variables [CONSTRUCTION_TRADE], [SPECIFIC_ACTIVITY], [TYPE_OF_SITE] and [TEAM_SIZE] with real values from your company or client. The result is a professionally structured SOP, ideal for: standardizing practices on site, training new employees, responding to tenders, or serving as a basis for a quality system. The prompt forces the AI to respect the terminology and constraints of the sector, avoiding generic responses. Usage tip: after generation, have the SOP reviewed by a site supervisor or project manager to validate field feasibility. Use the same prompt for different trades within the same company to maintain consistency in the documentation system.
Use Cases

Pensez à personnaliser les variables `[MÉTIER_BTP]` et `[ACTIVITÉ_SPÉCIFIQUE]` avec des exemples très précis (ex. « électricien – pose de tableau électrique ») pour éviter des généralités. Exigez aussi que l’IA cite les DTU et NF en titre de section, puis demandez un tableau récapitulatif des points d’arrêt qualité avec tolérance et responsable. Utile pour transformer la SOP en check-list chantier exploitable directement sur le terrain.
