Features & information
Explain which existing features and drawing views the team needs.

Useful questions
to settle early.
Can the scope include both land and a building?
Yes. We review the combined extent and the outputs required by the project team.
What if we are unsure about the output format?
Tell us who will use the information and what their next task is. We can review suitable deliverables with them.
Do you need project files in the first brief?
No. A plain-language overview is enough for the initial review. Detailed information can be discussed through the project process.
How is the price agreed?
The proposed scope, access and deliverables are reviewed before the work and price are agreed.
Prepare the next step
Tell us what the
project needs to know.
The site, the design stage and the information needed by your team give the survey its scope.
