Construction / Planning note
Before you build: prepare a useful home brief.
Original concept imagery · not completed work.
Start with the people, then the rooms.
List who will use the home and how routines may change. Consider privacy, shared spaces, guests, work, storage and accessibility preferences. Rank essentials separately from ideas you would like to explore.
Bring the site information you have.
Available plot dimensions, photographs, existing drawings and relevant property or site information help frame the first conversation. Missing or uncertain information should be recorded for verification rather than guessed.
Connect architecture and interiors early.
Furniture dimensions, kitchen appliances, storage and service requirements can influence layouts. Sharing these priorities early helps reduce decisions made in isolation.
Know the next decision.
Agree who will make decisions, which professional reviews are needed and what information is required before a proposal can become specific. A concept does not replace technical design or permissions.
