Design brief
Your rooms, budget, style direction, priorities and site constraints — written down as the agreed starting point before any design begins.
A normal studio hands over pretty images. ELS hands over decisions you can build from. These are the deliverable types produced across a project — more telling than another render.
The document set a contractor and a foreman actually build from, with client and site details removed. Anonymized sample PDFs are being prepared — the layouts below show each type.
Agreed before anything is drawn.
Your rooms, budget, style direction, priorities and site constraints — written down as the agreed starting point before any design begins.
The colour, finish and material direction for the property, chosen for moisture zone, climate and daily use — so every surface is decided against one system.
The level a contractor prices and builds from.
Room by room: what is built, its sizes, internals, hardware and appliance gaps — locked before production.
Every material by location and moisture zone — substrate, finish and edge — so nothing is left to the installer to guess.
The dimensioned front view of each built element, with heights, alignments and junctions set before fabrication.
Sockets, switches, lights, water points and appliance positions, coordinated against the joinery and the layout before wiring.
So the trades build to one approved scope.
Who does what, in what order, and where trades meet — the instructions that keep cabinets, ceiling, electrical and finishes from clashing.
What to order, from where, and when it must arrive to hold the build sequence — ready-stock and indent items flagged apart.
The buildable instruction a foreman works from on site: setting-out, tolerances and what to confirm before proceeding.
Checked, recorded and handed over.
The staged quality checks — drawing approval, material at delivery, wet-area checks, M&E points, installation and handover — signed off at each hold-point.
See the staged checklistThe final record: what was built, the approved specifications, warranties and the maintenance access points — so the property can be looked after.
Representative document types, not client files. Which you receive depends on your service and scope, confirmed on the approved brief. ELS coordinates specialist trades to one approved scope; it does not itself supply electrical, plumbing, tiling, ceiling or painting works.
