Design Brief Questionnaire

$25.00

Most project problems start before any drawings are made.

The design brief is where you establish why you're building, who it's for, and what success actually looks like. When your designer understands your business case, your target market, and your budget from day one, everything moves faster. No second-guessing, no expensive revisions mid-project.

This questionnaire walks you through ten sections so you're clear on the fundamentals before your first design meeting:

1. Project Vision and Strategic Intent

2. Target Market and End Users

3. Site Context and Constraints

4. Functional and Spatial Requirements

5. Design Aspirations and Interior Quality

6. Budget Framework

7. Timeline and Procurement Strategy

8. Sustainability and Performance Targets

9. Project Team and Decision Making

10. Risks and Constraints

It's grounded in established briefing methodology and designed specifically for residential projects.

Work through it and bring it to your first design meeting. You'll find the conversation becomes clearer and more focused.

“ While the property has not yet been taken to market, the agents who have previewed it have all commented on the outstanding detailing and high‑quality finish. Nicola’s commitment, organisation, and eye for detail played a significant role in achieving this result.”

“As a developer running multiple projects, my capacity is stretched thin. What I needed was someone who could narrow down the choices, show me how they'd work together, and get us quoted for a build. That clarity and guidance saved us weeks.”
