Scope of Work Template, Construction SOW, Exclusions & Assumptions Library, Short Form, Word Google Docs PDF

Scope of work template for Word, Google Docs & PDF: scope by area, included and not included, an exclusions library, short-form SOW and filled example.

The document that ends 'I thought that was included'

A full scope of work, a one-page short form, a filled example and an exclusions library for ten trades.

WHO IT'S FOR
Any contractor whose client has ever said 'I thought that was included'

SOUNDS FAMILIAR?
✕ The client assumed the appliances, the paint and the cleanup
✕ 'Hidden conditions' were never defined so they're yours
✕ Every scope is written from scratch

WHAT THIS PACK FIXES
✓ Scope by area with quantities – more is a change order, less is a credit
✓ Exclusions and assumptions you copy-paste by trade
✓ Milestones and client deadlines in the same document

SCOPE OF WORK TEMPLATE PACK – WHAT YOU GET
• Scope of Work Template (.docx + .pdf): Three pages: project summary; scope by area / phase (what is done, with quantities; product / spec / allowance; who does it); included; not included; assumptions; allowances; client responsibilities; schedule and milestones; the change process; completion and acceptance; signatures. Attaches to any proposal or contract.
• EXAMPLE - Scope of Work (Rasmussen kitchen) (.docx + .pdf): Filled in for a full kitchen remodel – the same job as the Contractor Proposal and Change Order examples (sold separately in our shop), so the scope, the allowances and the price line up.
• Short-Form Scope of Work (1 page) (.docx + .pdf): For repairs and small jobs: work included, not included, assumptions and client responsibilities, dates and price, two signatures – fits one page.
• Exclusions & Assumptions Library (by trade) (.docx + .pdf): Copy-paste paragraphs: an 'every trade' block (hidden conditions, pre-existing damage, matching finishes, permits, client-supplied materials, access, utilities, schedule) plus blocks for remodeling / GC, flooring, painting, roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, landscaping & hardscape, decks / fences / concrete, and handyman work.
• START HERE PDF: what's in the download, how to open it in Excel / Google Sheets or Word / Google Docs, a quick start and tips

HOW TO ACCESS
Instant digital download – nothing ships. After checkout Etsy shows a Download button, and the files stay under Purchases & Reviews on etsy.com (downloads don't work in the Etsy app – use a browser). The download is a ZIP: extract it first (Windows: right-click → Extract All; Mac: double-click), then open the files in Excel or Google Sheets and Word or Google Docs. Set it up once on a laptop, then use it anywhere. Because it's a digital file, returns aren't possible – but if something doesn't open or you're stuck, message us and we'll sort it out.
