Turn a reference into a clear brief
1. Identify
Save the actual manufacturer, product or project reference and the date you checked it.
2. Describe
Record dimensions with units, condition, photos and what must remain. Have the shop confirm its scope.
3. Approve
Keep the approved material, drawing and terms. A similar catalog item does not confirm fit for your project.
