E70. Navigating your design brief

Building Design, Prime Time

In this episode of the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast hosts Amelia and Frank introduce the importance of design briefs, explaining that a design brief serves as a blueprint for clients to clearly express their project desires to the designer. Frank describes the four main types of clients he encounters, ranging from those with a detailed plan and budget to those with vague or contradictory ideas. The discussion highlights the challenges in accommodating different clients, especially regarding cost awareness and how designers can assist each type of client to achieve their dream home or extension.
Frank highlights how helping clients manage their home-building budgets by clarifying priorities and differentiating between wants and needs. Clients can list their “dream items” and their essential needs, which helps in making adjustments when budget constraints arise.
The conversation emphasises the importance of designers listening carefully to client desires and ensuring those ideas are accurately reflected in the design.
