Current use
Explain how the space is used today and where the present arrangement falls short.
General construction
Set out the changes.
Begin with the space as it is used now, the change you want and the constraints already known.
Discuss your projectWhat stays. What changes.
An existing space brings a useful starting point: its current layout and use. Describe which parts should remain and which parts need to work differently.
Intended use
Describe the activities or needs the changed space should support, without prescribing an unverified technical solution.
Keep known constraints visible.
Distinguish information already available from matters that need checking. Describe known constraints and the questions that may need specialist advice.
Existing information
Name drawings, measurements or photographs already available. Say when a detail is approximate.
Things to retain
Identify spaces, materials or features you hope to keep. Their feasibility remains a project question.
Boundaries and responsibilities
Clarify the intended work, exclusions and other professional or specialist input when discussing the actual scope.
A useful first outline.
A few plain descriptions can start a focused conversation about changes.
Do I need a finished renovation plan?
No complete specification is needed for a first question. Explain the current use, intended change and known constraints.
Can I ask before choosing a stage?
Yes. The scope-question path skips readiness, and Contact also opens directly.
What should remain an open question?
Responsibility, technical advice, permissions and the actual work to be undertaken should be agreed for the project, rather than inferred from this guide.
Describe the change.
Choose the closest starting point in the scope guide, or open an inquiry and set out the question in your own words.
