Identify who will carry out construction, coordinate the programme, oversee procurement and supervise the site. Where several professionals or contractors are involved, ask how decisions and instructions will be communicated.

Make sure the written appointments describe the responsibilities you expect. Building construction, construction management and technical consultancy can address different needs; avoid assuming that one appointment automatically includes every service.

**H2: A short checklist for your first enquiry**

- Project location and intended use.
- A short description of the proposed work.

- Service or decision you need help with.
