Scope of Work
Describe tasks, configurations, and objectives in measurable terms so both parties agree on deliverables and change-order triggers.

Accurate line items and timelines protect both parties and provide a defensible basis for invoicing, warranty coverage, and change-order handling.
Coordinate these stakeholders early to avoid rework and to ensure the final quote can be converted into an enforceable contract.
