Building a Useful Renovation Brief

A good brief helps a suitable firm say yes — and an unsuitable firm say no — before everyone wastes time.

01

Start with property facts

Property type, area, key or access date, expected timing and an honest budget range should be clear.

02

Describe how the home needs to work

Explain routines, storage needs, cooking, work-from-home requirements, family composition and practical constraints.

03

Use inspiration as evidence

Save references and explain what you like about them: layout, warmth, storage, materials or colour — not only the style name.

04

Rank priorities

If budget or space forces a trade-off, the firm should know what matters most.

TURN THE RESEARCH INTO A BRIEF

Give suitable firms the same facts.

SUMAI collects your property, budget, timing, priorities and design direction before contact details are released.
