Building work and changes to an existing space begin with different information. The images here illustrate types of setting, not completed company projects.
Changes to an existing space
An existing space starts with current use, what needs to remain and what needs to change. Known constraints belong in the first outline.
Set out the changes.A scope question
If the category is uncertain, bring the question. A first inquiry can remain open.
Set out the work.Then examine the junction.
At a junction, ask what must connect, what must remain separate and who will confirm the boundary. Those answers can shape the next scope conversation without assuming a technical solution.
When the space already exists.
A change to an occupied or existing space begins with what is there now. Bring the intended use and the constraints you know; other responsibilities can be agreed in conversation.
