Renovation Client Brief Intake
The project in the client's words: scope, budget truth, priorities, and living arrangements.
6 questions · 1 page · about 3 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
Renovation disputes begin in the gap between what the client imagined and what the builder heard. This brief intake closes it before pricing: the project in the client's own words, must-haves versus wish-list separated, honest budget band, decision-maker clarity, and the living-through-it question that shapes programme and site setup.
Quoting from a written brief also shortens the tender conversation: both sides start from the same page, literally.
