OUTPUT / WHAT YOU RECEIVE
See the work behind the advice.
Examples of how a decision can be recorded. Your documents and level of detail are agreed around the project.
Quotation clarification
A scope comparison makes missing information visible before prices are compared. The entries below demonstrate the format, rather than actual contractor quotations.
Design query record
A focused record keeps a design question, its dependencies and the next action together. This is an example record based on the loft study, not a site instruction.
What we can explore
- Review of available drawings and scope to identify buildability questions and information gaps.
- Like-for-like comparison of contractor quotations, including allowances, exclusions and points to clarify.
- Clarification of material choices, joinery details and design intent with the relevant suppliers and specialists.
- A written record of design queries, decisions and follow-up actions with your appointed contractor and project team.
- Agreed site visits, where location and access allow, with notes on visible progress and matters requiring follow-up.
Things to consider
- Share current drawings, relevant surveys, quotations and the intended programme so that the advice can respond to the actual project.
- The purpose and frequency of visits, information to be reviewed and deliverables are agreed before work starts.
- Construction work, engineering design, statutory duties, certification and contract administration need clearly assigned responsibilities; they are not implied by a general consultancy appointment.
We agree deliverables, responsibilities and any specialist appointments in writing before work begins.
