Brief the space
Tell us about the business, the tenancy and what a successful working day needs. Share what you know; mark the rest as still to decide.
HOW IT COMES TOGETHER
Clear steps.
Fewer unknowns.
A useful process gives you room to make decisions before they become expensive changes.
Check the practicalities
Review access, existing services, landlord requirements and the approvals that may apply. Confirm which professionals need to be involved.
Agree the scope
Coordinate the design, inclusions, exclusions, budget and programme. Understand what is agreed and how changes will be handled.
Deliver with a plan
Sequence the work, coordinate trades and keep communication clear. Where trading must continue, agree realistic stages and site separation.
Hand over thoughtfully
Walk through the space, record outstanding items and provide the relevant care and handover information. Make the next contact clear.
BEFORE YOU START
A few good questions.
Do I need a finished design?
No. Start with the space and the business need. The next step depends on how much is already decided and whether a designer or other consultants need to join the conversation.
Can we keep trading?
Sometimes a staged approach may be practical, but access, safety, noise and services need to be considered first. The example brief makes room for this question rather than promising uninterrupted trade.
How long will the fit-out take?
There is no one-size-fits-all programme. Scope, approvals, access, specialist items and lead times affect timing. A real programme is agreed after the project has been reviewed.
Can you give me a price from this form?
The brief is a starting point, not a quote. A useful price needs an agreed scope and a review of the site, design, inclusions and exclusions.
