Interior and spatial design decisions left too late in a build mean missed opportunities, extra cost, and unnecessary stress.
Take the free assessment to understand the key decisions that matter before you build or renovate, and where you need to focus.
What to expect
Answer 15 simple questions about your upcoming project, and you'll know exactly where you stand.
Designed for homeowners planning a build or major renovation who already have plans - whether early concepts or more refined drawings. It may be useful to refer to your plans when answering the questions.
The reality
You've got your plans.
You've reviewed them.
You've talked them through…
But have all the spatial and interior decisions been fully considered?
Many need making early, but how do you know which ones matter and when they're needed? It's easy to miss something - leading to delays, rework, extra cost and stress.
This assessment helps you understand what decisions are needed, and how prepared you are, before construction starts.
What we assess
Spatial, design, and site decisions all need getting right, in the right order. We've defined three areas of build readiness to help you check.
Layout, flow, storage and how the home supports daily life. The hardest part to change once built.
Kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, flooring, automation. The interior decisions that influence construction.
Are your decisions documented clearly enough to support pricing, sequencing and smooth progress on site?
See how you score across all three dimensions - spatial, decision, and site readiness. Understand which areas need more thought and where you're already well prepared.
Practical next steps you can act on straight away - covering the key things to think about before your build, so you can move forward with confidence.
I'm so glad you're here. I've been in your shoes, and I know doing a build is one of the biggest things you'll take on.
I'm a BIID registered interior designer. Over the years, I've seen many projects where key decisions were left too late, simply because clients weren't clear on what needed thinking about and when.
I created the assessment to help you understand where you are with the interior build decisions that will define your home.
