Partnerships & OpportunitiesCOMPASS PRO / DOCUMENT WORKSHOP 03
Make the scope
readable before it changes.
Turn your own field notes into a structured work-scope draft that distinguishes inclusions, exclusions, assumptions and questions. No invented commitments, prices, codes or contract clauses.
Open the document workshop ↓01 / RECORD THE KNOWN FACTS
One field
at a time.
Use short lines for individual work items. You can revise everything before copying or exporting. All inputs remain in this browser page until you leave it.
The scope writer needs JavaScript to assemble your draft. Use the labeled prompts as a paper outline if document actions are unavailable. Scope notes cannot be submitted.
WORKSHOP NOTE / THE BOUNDARY IS THE POINT
What is included?
What is not?
An ambiguous scope can turn a reasonable project into a difficult conversation. The useful starting point is a specific written record of what is expected, what is outside the scope, and which decisions have not yet been made.
This is an educational document-organizing worksheet, not a California home improvement contract, change order, permit determination or legal review. If you use its draft in a formal agreement, confirm required language, licensing, signatures, disclosures and terms with a qualified professional.
03 / THE REVIEW METHOD
An empty field
isn't an agreement.
The document generator repeats only your entries and explicitly marks missing categories Not documented. It does not complete blanks by guessing products, quantities, rules, prices, timeframes or who will perform the work.
Review the actual site, measured conditions, written material/product specifications, scope interfaces, owner selections, exclusion boundaries, permit and inspection questions, approvals for changes, and closeout before using any portion in a formal contract.
