Start with the outcome
Explain what you want to make or understand, who will use it and what a successful result looks like. A prototype to review appearance is a different brief from a part intended for a functional test.
Show what exists
Attach sketches, photographs, dimensions or files. Distinguish confirmed requirements from assumptions and open questions. If you have an existing object, explain whether it can be sent or brought to the studio.
Describe the constraints
State quantity, timing, budget context if known, and any important material or data requirements. Flag critical fits or surfaces. The team can then ask focused questions and agree the scope before preparing a tailored quotation.
Before you send the files
- Describe the outcome and who will use it.
- Attach the latest drawing, model or reference photographs.
- State units, overall size, quantity and deadline.
- Mark critical dimensions and distinguish fixed requirements from open questions.
