The brief
We are considering a small raised platform for lightweight component storage. The study compares two support arrangements using the supplied survey and indicative loading schedule. It includes preliminary member sizing, one arrangement model and a list of checks needed before detailed design. Ground investigation, verification of existing foundations, permit submissions and construction-ready calculations are excluded. The decision we need is which arrangement deserves further investigation, not approval to build.
A running start
Completed: reviewed the survey, mapped missing foundation information and agreed the two layouts to compare.
Current: finish preliminary sizing and coordinate the preferred layout with workshop access.
Deliver both options with traceable load assumptions and a clear list of investigations required before detailed design.
Working together
Confirm the deliverables, review checks and response window together so everyone knows what a successful handover looks like.
Record the requested change, its reason and its effect on deliverables, budget and timing. Both parties agree the revised scope in writing before the additional work begins.
