01 / Describe how the space will be used
Before choosing a façade, identify who will use the project and what they need to do there. For a home, consider privacy, shared life, visitors and future changes. For commercial premises, consider customers, staff, operations and circulation. A prioritized list separates essentials from preferences.
02 / Gather what you already know about the site
Share the general location, photographs and any available documents. State whether it is a plot, an existing building or leased premises. You do not need to send approved plans, ownership records or identification through the initial form; a secure exchange can be agreed later.
03 / Explain your priorities and constraints
State the current stage, when decisions are needed and whether there is an investment reference. If the budget is undefined, say so. Visual references are more useful when you explain what interests you: light, materials, layout or the relationship with the garden.
04 / Agree the scope before moving forward
The first conversation should establish the next step, missing information and the professionals who need to participate. A written proposal should identify deliverables, revisions, responsibilities, fees and schedule assumptions. A render alone is not construction documentation.
