Scope Of Work Document

Creating a comprehensive scope of work is one of the most important parts of planning a home renovation. Detailing all aspects of the project enables everyone involved to be fully aware of what’s expected from each party. At Go Plans, we can help you create an extensive scope of work to ensure that your home renovation project is a success from start to finish.

What Is A Scope Of Work Document?

A Scope of Work is used in home renovations for tendering purposes. It is an all-encompassing document which will combine all of your existing and proposed architectural plans, building regulations and engineering drawings, as well as mechanical, electrical and window & door plans in order to be given to potential contractors.

This document essentially serves as a roadmap, providing contractors with detailed information about the project scope, specifications, fixtures, fittings and general information that the builders can follow. It ensures that they have a clear understanding of the project plan and can accurately assess the work involved. Additionally, the Scope of Work outlines key project milestones, timelines, and deliverables, helping to ensure that all parties are aligned and that the project progresses smoothly.

Ultimately, the Scope of Work plays a crucial role in enabling you to select the right contractor for your home renovation project. By utilising a scope of work, there is a base with which a negotiation can begin with builders, and then once selected, an agreement is firmly in place which outlines what is expected in the delivery of the work, helping to avoid any unexpected costs.

Scope-of-Work-Example

What Does A Scope Of Work Include?

At Go Plans we will help you to create a Scope of Work which covers key requirements, as well as detailed information about your renovations, such as:

Building Regulations

Building regulations are a set of legal requirements introduced by the government to ensure the health, safety and welfare of occupants, after the construction is complete. Compliance is mandatory in the UK for all building projects.

Structural Calculations

Structural calculations help to ensure that any architectural designs you have, align with what is structurally feasible and safe. An engineer will ensure that all foundations, materials and structural elements, such as beams, columns and walls, will withstand all anticipated loads and forces.

Plumbing/Mechanical Plan

A plumbing plan will outline the overall plumbing layout, including pipes, fixtures and systems that need to be modified or added within the property. It ensures that all sinks, showers, baths, water heaters and radiators have adequate plumbing fixtures running to them, avoiding any difficulties later on.

Electrical Plan

Similarly, an electrical plan details where plug sockets may need to be added or removed, and how this may affect existing wiring. Any renovation that includes adding switches, plug sockets, lighting features and other electrical components will need an electrical plan in order to receive accurate quotes.

Door & Window Schedule

This ensures that there is a detailed list of any windows and doors that need to be added or removed. It will also include their specifications, such as dimensions, quantities and specifications, ie a double glazed/tinted/wooden door.

Fixtures, Fittings & Finishes

The finishing touches to your renovation can also be included in the Scope of Work document. Items such as door handles, hinges, valves and flooring, to name but a few.

Changing A Scope Of Work

Changes to a Scope of Work are common and usually included in the agreement with your contractor. They can arise due to a discovery made after starting the renovations, such as outdated wiring or plumbing. In addition, if the discoveries lead to a change in the actual work involved, a new contract can be drawn up. Go Plans can help you with both of these eventualities.

Project History

Go plans did an excellent job and were very helpful and efficient. They came to measure up our house to create 'existing' drawings. Their architect then helped us develop our proposals and created drawings and 3d images. After go plans secured planning permission, they also advised on building regulations matters and prepared and supported that application.

I had the pleasure of working with oliver and his team, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed by their creativity, attention to detail, and overall professionalism. This designer's ability to blend functionality with aesthetic appeal in their architectural designs is truly remarkable

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the past few years my partner and I have been talking about extending onto our lounge and turning it into a dining area, as well as a place to perform our music to friends and family.
We didn’t know where to start and found it very daunting, so a friend suggested finding project management which made total sense.

I came across a few companies that offered some kind of project management, but after speaking to one of the team at Go Plans I found they were the only company that offered a bespoke service from start to finish.

Once we spoke about the cost of project management, I initially thought it was a little pricy however, once they broke it down, I realized they were actually very reasonable as they end up saving you a fair amount of money, so for me it was a no brainer and decided to go for it.

I am now at the tendering stage, and it is going very smoothly and importantly stress free for both my partner and me.

The team at Go Plans are very attentive and make you feel totally at ease as they have a professional team member for every area of the build.

To sum it up so far, I am extremely happy as they really do cover absolutely everything and each team member I have spoken to is friendly, professional and very good at their job.

I look forward to continuing the project with Go Plans as I know I am in very good hands.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Go Plans made our lives so much less stressful during the early stages of our single storey wraparound extension. They did all of the architectural plans, structural engineering/building regulation plans for our contractors and also dealt with building control matters. Meeting with their team in person and via Zoom was stress free, flexible and really put us at ease. They were also competitively priced. Would recommend and use them again on a build in future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had building floor plans drawn up by Go Plans, these were done to a high standard and completed on time. Go Plans also helped me with structural calculations which were passed on to my builder as I await planning permission before work commences on my garage conversion project. This was also applied for on my behalf by Go Plans. Everything was explained to me in high levels of detail and as someone who has never carried out building work on this scale before, it was also incredibly helpful to have GoPlans assisting me every step of the way. Overall I would thoroughly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Go plans provided a quick and streamlined design experience with well timed handovers between different professionals. Our plan did however fall short of the planning authority's expectations, due to fire regulations, and after accepting the outcome Go plans helped us out free of charge with necessary adjustments. I would recommend Go plans for their quick and easy service, especially for smaller jobs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had a fantastic experience with Karim as the structural engineer. He is very knowledgeable, personable and happy to help with anything and everything. He has guided me on my build and I couldn't have done it without him. Any project would be better off with him on it!
