THE HOUSE RENOVATIONS JOURNAL
Start Here
A considered renovation begins with a clearer question.
Use these six prompts to organize your own brief. They are a starting framework, not a technical specification for building work.
01 / Name the change
Describe what is difficult about the space today and what you hope will feel different.
02 / Choose your focus
Visit a room collection and gather the questions that matter to your household.
03 / Define the boundaries
Separate must-haves from preferences. Discuss the condition of your property and any specialist work with appropriately qualified people.
04 / Bring your own figures
Organize your estimates in the budget worksheet. It does not supply market prices.
05 / Compare the details
Explore materials and finishes and record the questions you need answered before choosing.
06 / Keep a project record
Collect your scope, estimates, decisions and questions in one place. Confirm requirements with the people responsible for your project.
