Statement of Work, Change Request and Project Sign-Off Forms

About this document

What it’s for

A statement of work turns a vague brief into a clear, agreed project. It defines exactly what is included and excluded, when things happen, how work is approved and how much it costs. Combined with a change request form and a sign-off form, it is the most effective protection against scope creep and payment disputes.

When to use it

  • For each new project under your services agreement
  • When the client asks for something outside the agreed scope (change request)
  • When the project is complete (sign-off)

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Agree the details with the client and both sign or confirm by email
  • Use a change request for every change to scope, timetable or fees
  • Ask the client to sign off each milestone or the completed project

Key points to check

  • List exclusions as carefully as inclusions
  • Make clear what happens if the client does not respond to a request for acceptance (deemed acceptance)

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
