Begin with routines
List daily routines, family gatherings and the way guests are welcomed. Review privacy, service movement and storage before selecting furniture. The most useful brief explains what each space needs to do and how it relates to the next room.
Study the exposure
Observe where direct light, glare, wind-driven rain and heat affect the property. Use the site information to discuss shade, openings and protected outdoor space with the relevant consultants. Interior finishes and furnishings should be chosen for the exposure they will actually receive.
Choose for upkeep
Consider cleaning methods, repair access and the availability of replacement parts. Review sample finishes in the intended light. A material can look appealing in a presentation but feel very different across a large floor or under evening lighting.
Measure detailed work
Custom wardrobes, kitchens and furniture need site checks and coordinated drawings. Identify appliance interfaces, power points, lighting and maintenance clearances. Keep the approved dimensions and finishes in the same record so the design and fabrication teams work from matching information.
Bring the right information
Share the project location, approximate area, current stage, available drawings, intended budget and target programme. We can use this information to define a useful first review and the scope of the next stage.
