Start with the systems or spaces that need attention. Note any observed issues, access restrictions and operating hours. Separate essential repairs from cosmetic improvements so priorities are clear.

Turn information into a clear brief.

Photographs and straightforward descriptions are often more useful than a long specification at the first stage. Explain what you want to achieve, what you know about the property and anything that may affect access or timing.

Recommendations, site requirements and costs must be confirmed for the individual project. This note is general information, not a technical design or approval.
