Ask for a selections schedule connected to the project sequence. Understanding which choices are needed next helps reduce rushed decisions.
What to discuss
For each selection, identify who supplies information, who approves it and what must be checked before ordering. Confirm the actual lead times with the project team and suppliers.
Make the next step clear
If a choice changes, ask how the change affects related work and how the revised decision is recorded. An organized conversation matters more than a long list of inspiration images.
Your conversation checklist
- Request a list of upcoming decisions and responsible people.
- Confirm actual lead times with suppliers and the team.
- Record changes and related impacts before approval.
