Scope of Work
Detailed description of tasks, equipment models, accepted tolerances, lighting levels, control systems, and performance criteria to avoid ambiguity during installation and commissioning.

The owner signs to confirm acceptance of design and payment terms; the signatory should have authority to approve budgets and enter into contractual obligations on behalf of the legal entity.
