7. Cost Estimate
This portion of the construction contract agreement provides a breakdown of all items being incorporated into
the construction project and their costs. The cost estimate can be detailed per item in a document that
combines specifications and costs, or in a lump sum form that doesn't specify individual items. Sometimes an
itemized Cost Estimate is combined with the Specifications in a single
8. construction work oder
When submitting or receiving a work order, you should save this document as you may need to reference it
later in the project. The maintenance of these projects ensures that a project stays on task and work is
completed properly and on time. Work orders most commonly include client and contractor information, order
numbers, expected completion date, and authorizing signatures.
9. Construction Insurance Coverage
Insurance—specifically liability insurance—is something every contractor should submit before beginning a
construction project. By keeping documentation of your insurance, you will avoid legal issues, protect your
employees, and avoid being charged for accidental worksite damage
10. scope of Work (SOW)
Having a clearly defined scope of the work involved for a project is helpful during the bidding process and later
on during the construction sequence. The Scope of Work document, sometimes known as the Statement of
Work, should enumerate all of the work to be done, who is responsible for the work, how the work should be
performed (techniques used), and what materials will be used. This is the document that will detail how change
orders are handled.
11. CSI Master Format Outline
The technical requirement to complete, execute and/or perform every little task or material being incorporated
in the construction projects. It will add intelligence to the construction drawings; specify common standards,
deviations accepted, materials accepted and the required testing for all materials. Usually, specifications are
made by referencing construction standards and codes
6. Construction Contract Agreement
The construction contract agreement is the principal agreement between the parties involved in a project. This
is an essential document and should include a detailed description of the project, the contract price, and how
payments will be made. It also covers the scope of the project and scheduling. Additionally, the initial contract
agreement should include state specific information such as contract laws, liens, and insurance requirements,
and a list of responsibilities and conditions both parties must follow when processing claims and resolving
disputes.
12. General Conditions
The general conditions document states the obligations each contractor will have throughout the construction
project. These conditions most commonly include the paying party, determining when payments will be made,
sourcing policies, where work will be performed, and deadlines. While not required, this document should also
include details regarding how potential disputes should be resolved.
