What is scope of work?

The scope of work (SOW), also known as a statement of work, is a formal document that outlines the specific tasks, deliverables, and requirements of a construction project. It serves as a clear understanding between the project owner and the contractor, defining the boundaries of the project and the responsibilities of each party.

The SOW is a crucial element of the project documentation, providing a reference point for all project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
