Preparing the brief
Separate the result the household needs from product choices that can be refined after the property is understood.
Useful before the first site visit
Plan the junctions, not just the headline feature.
These guides explain the decisions underneath common projects without replacing project-specific design, building control or professional advice.
Tell us where the work is, what needs to change and the best way to contact you.
Guidance for decisions that cross service boundaries
Larger home projects often involve decisions that cross several trades. Use these guides to prepare the brief, understand the drawings and spot where access, drainage or supply responsibilities need attention.
Reading drawings
Use current revision dates and identify which planning, building-control or structural information is still in progress.
Access and occupation
Record parking, delivery, shared access and the rooms or facilities that must remain usable.
Water and levels
Roof drainage, ground drainage, thresholds and outside falls often connect work that appears unrelated on a quotation.
Supply boundaries
Name who designs, supplies, stores, installs and connects client-selected items.
Comparing quotations
Compare preparation, assumptions, exclusions, making good and handover as well as the total.
Focused starting points
Extension planning
Move from household outcome to layout, structure, roof, services and external levels.
