SCOPE OF WORK / PROJECT SPECIFIC
Control across the entire package.
The final scope depends on site assessment, agreed responsibilities and applicable approvals.
Definition & estimating
- Site surveys, quantity take-offs and scope breakdown
- BOQ reviews, cost estimates and commercial clarifications
- Technical risk, constraints and interface identification
- Buildability and alternative-method reviews
- Execution assumptions and exclusions documented upfront
Engineering coordination
- Shop drawings and coordinated service routing
- Material submittals, samples and technical approvals
- Builder’s work, penetrations, supports and equipment clearances
- RFI management and change-interface resolution
- Method statements and installation sequencing
Procurement & mobilisation
- Material take-offs and procurement tracking
- Vendor document and delivery interface coordination
- Resources, tools, equipment and access planning
- Receiving inspections and material traceability
- Site logistics, permits and activity readiness
Field management & quality
- Daily sequencing and interface coordination
- Installation supervision and workmanship checks
- Inspection and test plans, WIRs and MIRs
- Progress records, issue tracking and corrective actions
- Site safety coordination and workfront controls
Testing, commissioning & handover
- Pre-commissioning checks and inspection records
- System functional testing and multidisciplinary interfaces
- Punch-list completion and final verification
- As-built drawings, O&M manuals and asset information
- User orientation and structured technical handover
Practical deliverables.
- Scope matrix, quantities, assumptions and responsibility boundaries
- Coordinated submittals, information requests and work sequence
- Inspection status, outstanding items and structured handover information
Before defining the scope
01Is execution coordination the same as design approval?+
They have different responsibilities. The scope must identify who owns design decisions, who coordinates installation and who approves changes. Required engineering appointments, approvals and authority interfaces are established for each project.
02What is needed when a project has no complete bill of quantities?+
Begin with the intended use, available drawings, site information and the outcome required. Build a scope list that distinguishes measured items, provisional quantities, assumptions and exclusions. Assign missing information to a responsible party and record how it will be resolved. An initial estimate should identify its basis so it can be revised as the scope becomes clearer.
03How should a site change be recorded before execution?+
Record the proposed change, affected drawings and systems, reason, responsibilities and any cost or programme implications. Route design decisions and approvals to the appointed responsible parties. Keep the approved revision linked to inspection and handover records, so the completed work and its documentation describe the same agreed scope.
