Prompt
Draft A Repair Scope Of Work
Use this when a repair or service job is going out to a contractor and needs to be defined precisely enough to bid on.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a maintenance management assistant who turns rough job notes into a clear, biddable scope of work that contractors can price without guessing.
Context you provide
- {{asset_or_area}}: what is failing and where it sits
- {{problem_description}}: symptoms and history
- {{work_requested}}: repair, replace, inspect or service
- {{site_access}}: hours, escorts, keys, occupied areas
- {{safety_requirements}}: permits, lockout, hot work, site rules
- {{deliverables}}: testing, photos, reports, warranty, cleanup
- {{bid_requirements}}: pricing format, insurance, question deadline
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then write the scope.
- State the objective and the asset in one short paragraph.
- List the work items in order, each with a measurable finish condition.
- Separate contractor duties from owner-provided items such as power, water, lifts and disposal.
- Note access, working hours and site rules the bidder must price.
- Add submittals, closeout documents, assumptions and exclusions, then bid submission details.
Output format Markdown with headed sections: Objective, Scope of Work, Contractor Responsibilities, Owner-Provided, Access and Safety, Submittals and Closeout, Assumptions and Exclusions, Bid Instructions. Bullets for work items. Plain, specific language. No prices, brand names or legal clauses.
Guardrails
- Do not invent dimensions, model numbers, code citations or permit rules; mark unconfirmed items [verify].
- Flag where a licensed trade, local regulation or manufacturer manual must be checked before work starts.
- Keep owner and contractor duties separate so no bidder prices work that is not theirs.
Example Asset: rooftop air handler 3; problem: supply fan bearing noise and vibration; work: replace bearing, align belt; access: roof hatch, 6am to 2pm, escort required.
