Scopes of Work

Overview

Open any scope to see its parts. Here's what you're looking at:

  1. Section — a category that organizes items for the specialty contractor (for example, Inclusions or Exclusions).
  2. Item — a single responsibility of the contractor (or, in Exclusions, a non-responsibility) needed for a complete scope.
  3. Version — the version of the scope. It increments each time you or the AI changes it. See Versioning below.
  4. Status — where the scope is in your process: Draft, Review, or Exported.
  5. CSI Code — the CSI code that best fits the scope.
  6. Verification Status — whether you've verified an item. Until you do, an item is marked System Generated because Struction's AI wrote it. Verifying items before you send a scope to subs is strongly encouraged.
  7. Sources — the exact drawing or spec pages that back the item. Click a source to bring that page up in the Detail Panel.
  8. Quantity — a number, either measured from an Area, Lineal, or Count takeoff, pulled from a schedule, or typed in. See Quantity Takeoff.
  9. Unit — the unit of measurement for the quantity.
  10. Functionality — everything above is editable directly on the scope or through chat. Most things change with a click or double-click.

The standard sections of a scope are: Summary, Inclusions, Exclusions, Compliance, GC Requirements, Operational Responsibilities, Scheduling, Alternates, and Open Issues. The Open Issues section is special — it lists the RFIs and risks that affect this scope, pulled straight from the Risk Register, and stays in sync automatically. See Issues.

Tip — Each scope also shows a few summary numbers — its readiness, its open-issue count, and an estimate of what share of total project cost it represents. Use these to decide where to spend your review time.
