FAQs
What is a Scope of Work (SOW), and why is it important?
A Scope of Work (SOW) is a document that outlines the tasks, deliverables, timeline, and responsibilities of a project. It helps avoid disputes and ensures clarity between tradies and clients.
How detailed should a Scope of Work be?
A good SOW should include project objectives, specific tasks, materials, labour costs, timelines, and payment terms. The more detailed it is, the fewer misunderstandings arise.
Can a Scope of Work protect my business legally?
Yes! A well-written SOW can serve as a legal reference in case of disputes by clearly defining what is and isn’t included in the job.
How often should I update my Scope of Work?
Whenever the project scope, additional tasks, or revised deadlines change, both parties should agree on an updated SOW.
What’s the difference between a Scope of Work and a contract?
A Scope of Work is a detailed breakdown of the job to be completed, while a contract is a legally binding agreement that may include the SOW along with terms, conditions, and obligations.
