Understand the site and scope
Start with the site or existing rooms. Note access, utilities, budget, timing and the parts you will not compromise on. The site and existing conditions come first.
Process
Four steps
From first ideas to final details.
Good construction depends on decisions made in the right order. These four steps cover the main planning questions.
Project steps
Define the scope and budget
Bring scope, drawings, budget and schedule together. Identify the decisions that drive cost before materials and finishes are selected.
Plan the work sequence
Permits, materials and trades need a workable sequence. Agree responsibilities and how progress will be communicated before construction starts.
Finish the details
Allow for final details, required inspections and a walkthrough. A punch list belongs in the plan from the start.
The through-line
Site, scope, sequence and finish: four steps for planning the work and making major decisions early.
No. Start with what is not working, where the project is and what matters most. That is enough for a first brief.
