Example of a contractor contract and work list?

[Yvonne Wang]

First time working with a contractor here. Does anyone have an example of what a contract should look like and the details in the scope of work? I'm wondering how much specifics I need to include for each line item.

Hi Yvonne,

Abel’s screenshot is a great example! While every project is unique, the basics he highlighted are essential parts of any construction contract. It’s also important to be as specific as possible in the scope of work for each line item—clear details can save you from misunderstandings or unexpected costs later on.
