The composition of the information required for a project can vary depending on the scope of the work to be undertaken.

It’s important to work with your designer and other professional consultants to develop a specification that outlines the employer’s needs and the contractor’s expectations.

This will ensure the accuracy and reliability of the pricing and outcome.

The two types of specification that can be used are prescriptive and formal. Prescriptive specifications include specific products and materials, while formal specifications describe the requirements for a product or system.

Drawings are a detailed description of the requirements and should be created by an interior designer or architect. These can include general arrangement drawings, reflective ceiling plans, service layouts, and compartmental detail drawings.

Schedules are also a useful tool in defining elements of the works and can include door schedules, fittings and equipment schedules, and finishes schedules. Other important information to consider includes refurbishment and demolition survey reports, structural calculations, and specifications for mechanical and electrical works.

Overall, proper design development is crucial for ensuring the success of your restaurant project. By working with your designer and other professionals, you can create a cohesive and comprehensive plan that will guide the project from start to finish.
