Turn unclear client vision or wish-list requests into a concrete scope-of-work draft that shows what's included and excluded.
Clients often describe what they want using vague language like 'updated finishes' or 'modernize the space' without defining specifics. This prompt helps you translate those fuzzy requests into a detailed scope-of-work draft that clarifies exactly what's included, what's not, and what decisions still need to be made. Use this when a client gives you a project idea but hasn't nailed down the details — it helps you move from concept to a biddable, executable plan while preventing scope creep later.

“Act as an experienced construction project advisor. I need to turn a client's general project idea into a clear, detailed scope-of-work document that I can use for bidding and planning. Here's what the client told me: [paste or describe the client's request, e.g., 'We want to renovate the second-floor office space to make it more modern and functional']. Create a draft scope-of-work that includes: 1) A summary of the project intent, 2) A detailed list of specific work items and deliverables (be as concrete as possible based on typical projects like this), 3) A list of items explicitly excluded from this scope, 4) A list of decisions or selections the client still needs to make before work begins, and 5) Any assumptions I'm making about existing conditions or access. Write it in clear, professional language suitable for sharing with the client and subcontractors.”
