Free Construction Scope of Work Template Editable Word Document
A clear scope of work for bid packages and subcontract exhibits: the work, what’s in and out, who handles each interface, submittals, schedule, closeout and allowances.
What’s included
- Project & package: project and location, the parties, the trade or package, and the drawings, specs and addenda the scope is based on.
- Work to be provided: a large box for the full description: quantities, locations, systems and performance requirements.
- Inclusions & exclusions: a side-by-side table: what this contractor includes, and what’s excluded or by others (and by whom).
- Interfaces with other trades: who provides items like in-wall blocking, sleeves and patching, so nothing falls between trades.
- Materials & submittals: product or system, spec section, submittal type and lead time.
- Access, coordination, closeout & allowances: work hours, staging, shutdowns, milestones, inspections, punch list, warranty and turnover, plus allowances, unit prices and clarifications, and signature lines.
How to use this template
- Put your company name in the top line and fill in the project, trade and date.
- List the exact drawings, spec sections and addenda this scope is based on.
- Describe the work with quantities, locations and references, not just a trade name.
- Fill in the inclusions and exclusions side by side. For every exclusion, say who it’s by.
- Settle the trade interfaces (blocking, sleeves, patching) before work starts.
- Add submittals, schedule, closeout items and any allowances, then have both sides sign.
