It contains all current information relating to the ownership of the specific lot or parcel of land, and any lodged or registered encumbrances (interests or claims) against that ownership. Budget Asking your clients about the budget will help you determine the level and amount of work that you'll be able to complete. Personal details ‘Talking through these personal details with your client/s will help you gain an understanding of their needs and expectations for the building. Disabilities and/or special needs This relates not only to the client/s but to their ftiends, family and visitors, For example; ifthe client's do not have any special needs they may have elderly family members that visit, Outbuildings ‘An ‘outbuilding is defined as a structure that is not substantially connected to a residence. Site sketch t's helpfl to have a site sketch as part of your client bref, so that you can refer to it during the discussion Lay of the land ‘This isan estimated view (by eye and without the use of levelling equipment) of how the land slopes. It gives you and your client an appreciation of some of the expected design issues and costs associated with the building design and any earthworks that may be required, Exisiting buildings It's important to know whether any existing buildings are staying, or need to be demolished. Future development affecting the siting of the house Consider whether the lot is going to be developed in the future, for example building another dwelling, and will it be on a battleaxe block. Key features of site to be retained This refers to stand-out features of the site, It usually refers to a view, large tree/s, water areas such as a ereek or pond, or a rocky outcrop that is going to be used as a vital part of the building's overall design. Encumbrances An encumbrance is a lodged or registered interest in land, such as mortgages, lease agreements, caveats and easements, by 1 person or party who is not the registered proprietor. These would be detailed on the Certificate of Title.eveore leit Zoning Zoning is the term used to describe the partitioning of areas of land into ‘usage’ for example, industrial, residential. Always check with the relevant local authority (o ensure that the zoning of the property allows for the proposed building to be done. Surveyor's report ‘Sometimes described as a survey plan, this report is generally carried out by a licensed surveyor. As part ofthe plan, levels, are taken for developing the contours of the land and features relating to the site such as fences, retaining walls, large trees, service provider manholes. Additionally, the surveyor will note any state and local government infrastructure such as roads, footpaths etc, as well as adjacent properties and existing buildings that may be close to the boundaries. Site analysis ‘The site analysis is used during the design process. It documents design considerations such as the direction of summer and winter breezes, the relevance of any views, any shading issues from surrounding buildings or large trees, and the location of north in relation to the bulding. This information is useful to determine the placement of windows and other features of the building. Rooms Talking with your client/s about the different rooms in the building will help you determine the kind of work needing to be done. It's important to bear in mind the budget the client's proposed, as many people don't realise how costly some of these room elements can become very costly. ‘Asking your client/s about the size of each room will help you get an idea of the overall size of the building, This checklist includes some of the main clements that would go into rooms, however you should add more detail where necessary. Room relationships This term refers to the way that rooms are placed in relation to each other in a building, It gives an insight into how your client's would be using the rooms, Architectural style Finding out what sort of architectural style your client/s have in mind will help with decisions later in the planning and design process. I's always helpful if your client/s can give you examples of styles they like. You could ask whether they prefer period character, or modem contemporary style with clean lines, Do they know of an architect whose work they admire? Is there a house or houses in their area that they particularly like the look of? You should talk about internal styles, as well as external such as wall and roof finishes and styles. Materials/Construction Will the construction ofthe building use traditional bricks and mortar or altemative materials such as concrete? Does the client have another style of house in mind, like a pole home?
