When to use and what to include
Assign and adjust execution details online, then generate a field-ready work order PDF. Use this to assign a specific task or scope of work to a crew or subcontractor on an active project, giving them clear written instructions on what to build, when, and where on site.
What to include
- Project name, work order number, date issued, assigned crew or subcontractor name, and the supervising project manager or superintendent contact information.
- Scope of work with specific location on the job site, plan sheet and detail references, specification sections, and quantities including dimensions or counts.
- Schedule requirements with start date, completion date, sequencing dependencies such as waiting for rough-in inspection before closing walls, and coordination points with other trades.
Common questions
- Can I edit this Construction Work Order before work starts?
- Yes. Update the crew, site notes, materials, tasks, and schedule in the guided form before downloading the final PDF.
- Can I save this Construction Work Order and reuse its details for similar jobs?
- Yes. With an account, save it in your history, edit it later, and reuse its job details as a starting point for similar work.
- Can I export this Construction Work Order as a crew-ready PDF?
- Yes. Generate a PDF your team can open on-site or print for job folders.
- Is a work order the same as a change order?
- A work order assigns tasks within the approved contract scope. A change order records an approved change to scope, price, or schedule.
- Does a subcontractor need a work order if they already have a subcontract?
- Use the work order alongside the subcontract to specify the next task, location, timing, and site instructions while keeping the subcontracted scope and price as the governing terms.
- Who signs a construction work order?
- The project manager or superintendent issues it, and the crew lead or sub foreman signs to acknowledge receipt and understanding. Keep a copy in the project file.
- How do I keep work orders easy to identify?
- Give each job a reference number and record its customer, work, assigned crew, planned date, status, and completion notes. With an account, you can save each PDF in your document history.
- Is a work order useful for a small job?
- It can be. A short work order records the requested tasks, price, planned date, assigned crew, and customer acknowledgment in one job document.
