This SOW checklist for construction project management can be applied and customised to plan critical details, such as deliverables, tasks, manpower, cost, and the timeline for projects. It permits email notification of task duties to individual employees. For a SOW template outside of the construction industry, see our general scope of work template.
Start by defining why the construction project was inducted in the first place and what precisely the client plans to achieve when it is concluded.
Scope of Work
List the client's deliverables using the S.M.A.R.T. (Specific Measurable Achievable Reasonable Time-Bound) criteria. In each deliverable, you can name a responsible person, the cost, and target date of completion. You may also add supporting records (.e.g floor plan, design plan, Work Breakdown Structure) fas further references. Write down a glossary/definition of terms to prevent miscommunication and misunderstandings down the line.

Project Schedule
Explain your project's timeline here. Classify milestones (e.g. securing of local authority's building permission, completion of acquisition, 50% achievement of the project) to pinpoint critical issues that lead to the project's fulfilment. You can also add visual directors, such as charts, boards, and roadmaps, to support that everyone has a quick overview of the project schedule.

Project Costs
Projects usually tend to go over budget, making it more relevant for project managers to perform a cost-benefit analysis before. This can assist you to determine the correct mix of resources (e.g. labour, machinery, safety facilities, and security) and the optimal cost. Ask experts when preparing this part to get precise costing for manpower, instruments and equipment and other demands.
Total costs:
Acceptance Criteria
Acceptance criteria are used to assess the deliverables - whether they are operating fine according to the prescribed specs.
Acceptance criteria:
Variations
Many construction projects may vary from the original design and terms, which is why it's significant to decide whether to allow or not allow these kinds of changes. The variations sector can address the method by which the parties will adhere to in case of change demands.
Explain the variations:
Conditions of the Contract
Here you can include further conditions that encourage your SOW. You can define details for objects, such as workmanship, working hours, security program, site clearance and cleaning methods, warranty, and standard of performance.
Define the conditions of the contract:
Project Approval & Signatures
Never start constructions without important signatures/approvals; these make your SOW enforceable. Project managers need to get all key signatories to agree on each project objective and milestone before ending the SOW. This will help guard all parties in case of legitimate disputes. You may also attach more signatories here in case there are more than one.
