### Living Building Scope of Work Template

Planning a Living Building project requires meticulous coordination across sustainability systems, regenerative design principles, and rigorous performance standards. This **Living Building Scope of Work template** helps architects, contractors, sustainability consultants, and developers define comprehensive project scopes that meet Living Building Challenge (LBC) certification requirements—from biophilic design and net-zero energy to water recycling and material health.

Whether you're pursuing Petal Certification, Core Certification, or Full Living Building Challenge certification, this template captures the critical details needed to align stakeholders, establish deliverables, and track performance targets across all seven performance categories.

#### Why use Paperform for sustainable building project scopes?

**Paperform** is designed for professional services teams who need branded, intelligent forms that do more than collect data. For sustainability consultants, green building firms, and architecture practices, this means:

 - **Conditional logic** that adapts questions based on certification level, project type, and performance goals
 - **Calculations** for preliminary energy modeling, water balance targets, and carbon footprint estimates
 - **Integrations** with project management tools like Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, and Notion to automatically create tasks and timelines
 - **AI Insights** to summarize complex SOW submissions and identify common scope gaps across multiple projects
 - **Papersign integration** to convert approved scopes into executable contracts with eSignatures from all stakeholders

Once submitted, you can use **Stepper** to automate your post-submission workflow—routing scopes to technical reviewers, triggering kickoff meeting invites, creating project folders in Google Drive or Dropbox, and updating your CRM with new project details.

#### Who is this template for?

This template is built for sustainability-focused professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, including:

 - **Sustainability consultants** defining LBC advisory scopes
 - **Architects and design firms** scoping regenerative building projects
 - **General contractors** bidding on net-zero and Living Building projects
 - **Developers** planning community-scale sustainable developments
 - **MEP engineers** scoping high-performance building systems
 - **Landscape architects** integrating biophilic and ecological design

The form adapts to different project scales—from single-family homes to multi-building campuses—and certification pathways, ensuring you capture the right details for your specific engagement.

#### What makes this template different?

Unlike generic SOW documents, this template is purpose-built for the complexity of Living Building projects. It addresses all seven petals of the Living Building Challenge framework while remaining accessible to clients who may be new to regenerative design.

The form intelligently collects information on site context, performance goals, design aspirations, systems integration requirements, and certification milestones—giving you a complete picture of scope, timeline, and budget considerations in one submission.
