A useful project brief starts with how you want to live and the information you have today. You do not need every answer before your first conversation.
Start with the essentials
- Your site location and any available site information.
- The intended use, approximate area and number of levels.
- Your current drawings, sketches or architectural references.
- Your priorities for layout, appearance and timing.
Make the scope clear
Note which decisions are already made and which remain open. Tell the project team whether you want to discuss design coordination, framing supply, site coordination or a combination.
Bring what you have
A concise brief and a few relevant drawings can make the next conversation more focused. Keep references labelled so their purpose is clear.
