Lifestyle brief written down
Why — act while you have leverage
Household size, elderly members, work from home, vehicles, future expansion. Your plan gets reviewed against this brief - not against generic norms. Unwritten needs are the ones the design misses.
What to look at
- A written brief that the plan can actually be reviewed against
- Future expansion intent captured before the foundation is designed
How to check it yourself
A competent brief captures household size and composition; elderly members and any ground-floor or step-free need; work-from-home rooms; vehicle count; future expansion, which affects foundations and columns now; entertaining patterns; storage; and domestic-help provision. It is the yardstick the floor-plan review measures against.
