Preparing a Scope of Works

A clear and comprehensive Scope of Works (SoW) is the foundation of every successful construction project. At CGC QS & Estimating, we provide a professional service that defines precisely what is to be built, supplied, or installed — ensuring complete clarity for clients, designers, and contractors from the outset.

Our Scope of Works preparation service transforms drawings, specifications, and project briefs into a structured document that sets out the extent, quality, and standards of the works to be undertaken. This provides a solid basis for accurate estimating, tendering, and contract administration.

What Our Service Includes

• Defining Project Deliverables

We clearly outline the works required under each trade or package, ensuring that every element is properly described and accounted for.

• Inclusions and Exclusions

We identify what is — and isn’t — included in the works to ensure consistency during tendering and to prevent misunderstandings later on.

• Standards and Specifications

Our team references relevant building regulations, industry standards, and client specifications to define the expected level of performance and quality.

• Trade Interfaces and Responsibilities

We clarify boundaries between trades, existing structures, and client-supplied items, helping avoid overlap or gaps in responsibility.

• Basis for Pricing and Valuation

The completed Scope of Works provides a reliable framework for tendering, cost planning, and valuation throughout the project lifecycle.

Why It Matters

Engaging CGC QS & Estimating to prepare a detailed Scope of Works gives clients confidence that their project starts on the right footing. A well-defined scope reduces risk, minimises disputes, and ensures transparency in pricing and delivery — saving time, cost, and uncertainty at every stage.
