For project sponsors, procurement and corporate leadership

A clear appointment begins with a clear scope.

Choosing a design consultant begins with understanding the problem, the required role and the evidence behind an appointment. Share your objectives and procurement route so MESA can discuss a project-specific scope and next steps.

Share your procurement brief ↗

Give the brief a useful starting point

Provide the location, approximate area, intended use, stage, available drawings and the decisions you need to make. If there is an RFP, state the deadline and contact route; photographs and documents can be attached to your email.

Separate the roles clearly

Design, services coordination, construction supervision and project management are different responsibilities. Agree deliverables, exclusions, required specialists and approval milestones before appointment.

Choose relevant evidence

Review the actual stage and scope beside each project. State Life renovation work, built PSO interiors and current design concepts offer different forms of evidence; client names alone do not establish the role on a new commission.
