Who uses the brief request tool

Any professional who needs structured information from a client before a site visit

⚙️
Structural engineers
Send to a homeowner before a desktop assessment. Receive floor plan, roof type, load information and photos — all structured and ready to calculate from.
"Here's a link — answer these 8 questions and upload 4 photos before our call on Thursday."
🏗️
Builders and contractors
Qualify a lead before driving to site. Know what the job involves, whether planning is needed, and what structural work may be required — before spending half a day on a speculative visit.
"Fill this in and I'll give you a ballpark price before we book the survey."
📐
Architects and designers
Gather existing building information before the first client meeting. Arrive prepared with the floor plan already sketched and key constraints identified.
"Complete this brief before our design consultation — it'll save us an hour in the meeting."
🏠
Estate agents and surveyors
Gather property information from vendors ahead of a valuation or survey. Identify structural concerns early — before they become renegotiation issues.
"We've sent you a brief request — complete it before your survey appointment."
