Free scope of work template

Detailed enough that someone who wasn’t at the sales meeting could build the job from it, and that the client can tell exactly what the price covers.

Because “I thought that was included” is a hard conversation once work has started. A clear exclusions list settles it before anyone signs.

The estimate prices the work; the scope describes it. Keep both, and attach both to the contract.

A scope of work is the written description of exactly what you’ll build or change: the work included by area, what isn’t included, who supplies which materials, and who handles permits and cleanup. In construction it’s attached to the contract so the price and the work match. In ECHOPS, your crew sees the scope on their portal sheet, in English or Spanish.

The preview at the top of this page shows the layout, with sample rows for demolition, plumbing, and tile and flooring under included work, plus common exclusions such as abatement, structural engineering, hidden damage and permit fees. For your own construction scope of work example, write each area in enough detail that someone who missed the sales meeting could build it.

Yes. The free scope of work template comes as an editable Word file and a printable PDF. Type the job into Word and save a blank master for the next one, or print the PDF when you’d rather fill it in by hand. Attach the finished scope to your construction contract so everyone works from the same page.
