Before the Project Begins | Interior Design Project Readiness Checklist

Start with a clearer project brief.

An interior design project can become difficult when responsibilities, approvals or assumptions remain unspoken. This two-page checklist helps you identify what is agreed and what still needs an owner or decision before work begins.

Review 20 points across five areas: the brief; scope and deliverables; money and time; people and decisions; delivery and control. Mark each point Yes, Open or N/A, then write down your first three actions.

What you receive: two English-language PDF files, each two A4 pages. The fillable edition lets you select answers and type directly into the PDF. The printable edition is designed for pen and paper.

For independent interior designers and small design studios preparing a new client project.

For digital use, download the fillable PDF, open it in a PDF reader that supports forms, complete it and save a copy. Browser and phone previews may not preserve filled fields consistently.

This is a general planning aid. Adapt it to your appointment, local requirements and the technical checks relevant to each project. It is not a contract, specification or substitute for professional review.
