Frequently Asked Questions
Plain answers about the scope-of-work toolkit — what a scope of work is, what to include, and what Free and Pro cover.
What is GC Scope?
GC Scope is the scope-of-work toolkit for government construction — templates, checklists, and spec language organized by project type, so nothing slips out of your scope and into a change order.
What is a scope of work?
A scope of work is the document that defines the work you will perform — and the work you will not. GC Scope's templates give you the standard sections an estimator should cover for each project type, so every division is covered and every exclusion is stated.
What should a government scope of work include?
The standard sections depend on the project type. GC Scope's templates cover roads, water, schools, parks, and site work — each with the sections an estimator should include, from mobilization and site work through the trade-specific work to closeout.
What is the pre-bid checklist?
Ten items that kill bids when they are missed: bonds, addenda, locates, sub quotes, and more. Run the checklist before you bid so nothing is left out of your number.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Free includes the Road & Bridge and Water & Wastewater template libraries, the pre-bid checklist, and the general scope and submittals clauses — no card required. Pro adds all five template libraries, the full spec clause library, and saving named scopes to download, at $19 per month, cancel anytime.
How do I build a scope in GC Scope?
Pick the project type that matches the job, run the pre-bid checklist, pull the spec language, and bid it clean. Pro accounts can save the assembled scope under a project name and download it as a text file ready to paste into your bid.
