Use this reference when preparing mechanical work in an existing building. A useful project brief connects the proposed change with the systems already in place and the activities that must continue during construction. The Technology Drive image is a planning reference; the page does not document a completed scope.
Explain whether the project involves replacing equipment, changing the layout, serving a new use or addressing a recurring problem. Identify the affected spaces and list the fixtures or equipment being added, removed or retained. If a supplier has already been selected, include its equipment schedule and connection information.
Discuss who supplies each item and who handles its connections, controls and startup. Confirm when surrounding construction must be ready and whether another trade needs access before an area is closed. Equipment changes can affect more than one system; a clear responsibility list helps identify questions that need to be settled during assessment.
List the activities that cannot be interrupted and any acceptable shutdown windows. Explain how the work area will be separated from occupied spaces and who can authorize a shutdown. Ask which conditions require a site visit before the sequence or price can be confirmed.
Describe the intended finished result, target schedule and any owner-supplied equipment. Ask for clear inclusions, exclusions and assumptions, including removal, access openings, testing and finishing responsibilities. Keep outstanding design decisions visible so competing proposals can be compared on the same scope.
