Build the brief around the buyer
| Project type | What to prioritise | Where to continue |
|---|---|---|
| Homeowners | A clear scope, manageable decisions and defined delivery responsibilities. | Supplier guides |
| Interior designers | Versioned specifications, samples and approval records. | Design and planning |
| Builders and developers | Repeatable item references, project milestones and site interfaces. | Specifications |
| Hospitality and commercial buyers | Project-specific requirements, inspection scope and installation handover. | Quality checks |
Give the supplier a usable first brief
State the property type, destination, product categories, quantities and required milestones. Identify who approves the specification and who manages the destination work. Ask for a proposal that separates product supply from additional services so the commercial scope remains clear.
Connect the specialist tasks
Use the master schedule to connect the suppliers with the designer, freight provider and destination team. Assign the relevant responsibilities and keep changes visible. The complete project benefits from defined handovers between specialists.
