What belongs in a renovation brief?

Define the spaces

Name the rooms and the intended changes. Include what should stay. Photographs and a simple written outline help establish a shared understanding.

Record priorities and constraints

Explain your target timing, comfort with disruption and budget expectations. A planning allowance is different from a final construction price.

Resolve the details in writing

Before work begins, review scope, exclusions, selections, responsibilities and the process for changes. Project-specific requirements should be confirmed with the appropriate professionals.
