FAR 36.517 Layout of work.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section tells contracting officers when to include the Layout of Work clause in a construction solicitation or contract. It applies when a fixed-price construction contract is planned and the clause is appropriate because accurate work layout and siting verification are needed during performance. For contractors, it means the clause may appear in their contract and affect how work layout is handled.

Applies to: Contracting officers handling fixed-price construction contracts

What it requires

  • Insert the clause at 52.236-17, Layout of Work, in solicitations and contracts when a fixed-price construction contract is contemplated and use of this clause is appropriate due to a need for accurate work layout and for siting verification during work performance.
