Free remodeling scope of work template

Remodels fail on allowances and assumptions. A scope that lists the work room by room and trade by trade, sets an allowance for each finish the customer has not chosen yet, and says who supplies fixtures, keeps the budget honest. When the customer picks a more expensive tile, the allowance shows the difference instead of an argument.

• Demolition and disposal.
• Framing and layout changes.
• Plumbing, electrical and ventilation work by trade.
• Finishes with allowances: tile, cabinets, counters, fixtures.
• Who supplies each item, you or the customer.
• Permit, inspections, protection and cleanup.

• Allowance amounts for every finish not yet chosen.
• Lead times for cabinets and counters.
• What happens if rot or old wiring is found in demolition.
• Where the customer will cook or bathe during the work.
• Dust protection for the rest of the house.
• Who orders and receives customer-supplied items.
