Schedule of Works

What is a Schedule of Works?

A Schedule of Works is a structured document that lists every item of work required for a construction, refurbishment, or repair project. It forms the basis for contractor tendering, cost planning, and project management.

Prepared by our RICS Chartered Surveyors, a Schedule of Works provides a clear, consistent brief that enables you to obtain comparable quotes from multiple contractors and hold them accountable throughout the project.

Whether you are undertaking a minor refurbishment or a major development, a professionally prepared Schedule of Works is one of the most effective tools for controlling costs and quality.

Who Needs a Schedule of Works?

• Property owners planning refurbishment, extension, or conversion works
• Landlords managing planned maintenance or improvement programmes
• Developers requiring a tendering document for contractor procurement
• Managing agents overseeing major works to residential blocks
