First time working with a contractor here. Does anyone have an example of what a contract should look like and the details in the scope of work? I'm wondering how much specifics I need to include for each line item.

    Hello @Yvonne Wang,

    The scope of work should include the following:

    - Basic info: Property address, client name, contractor's contact info, address, license#'s, signed general/operating agreement b/w contractor and client

    - Specification of repairs: Repair item, Quantity of items needed, total & per unit cost of items, taxes (if applicable), Completion hours, title of the person responsible for the repair item, written summary describing the work

    - Add'l info: Schedule of repairs, additional payment schedule details i.e. disbursement schedule, method of disbursement, deposits, holdback amounts, etc.

    The screenshot below highlights a couple of repair items. The total contract is 20+ pages, which I cannot share due to the personal information contained in it.

    Hope this helps!

    An extremely detailed scope of work along with an extremely detailed contract, are the keys to a project that is going to finish on schedule and on budget, without surprises. 

    PM me if you need some examples of each.....
