Openings and composition
Show overall sizes, door leaves, fixed panels, divisions and relationship to adjacent construction.
For architects and designers
Turn the steel and glass concept into questions production can answer.
Creative Loft reviews internal door and partition briefs with UK design practices, then identifies the project information needed before quotation and manufacture.
Design intentproportion, divisions and operation captured early
Declared requirementsperformance needs separated from assumptions
Project routebuyer, programme and UK destination included
Early manufacturer input
Resolve the load-bearing decisions before the tender description hardens.
A visual reference can establish rhythm and character, but it does not define operation, glass, interfaces, hardware or performance. Share those requirements early enough for the manufacturer to identify what is achievable and what still needs evidence.

Build the specification in four layers.
Each layer answers a different production or procurement question.
Operation and performance brief
State traffic, privacy, safety, acoustic or other requirements. Do not assume a rating from appearance.
Procurement and site context
Name the buyer, programme stage, UK postcode and party responsible for survey, installation and approvals.
Resource boundary
No unverified BIM library, NBS clause or performance table.
The current client evidence does not confirm CAD or BIM formats, standard details, sample service, acoustic values, glass classifications or a formal approval procedure. Ask for the information needed by the project, and Creative Loft will confirm what can be supplied.

What to send for a useful design review.
One marked-up elevation and a short requirements list can start the conversation.
| Information | Preferred form | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Geometry | Plans, elevations, sections or opening schedule | Configuration and interface review |
| Intent | Reference images and notes on divisions, colour and hardware | Visual direction |
| Requirements | Use, traffic, privacy, safety and any specified performance | Suitability questions |
| Route | Client type, procurement stage, programme and postcode | Commercial qualification |
Specification enquiry
Send one elevation and the requirements that cannot move.
Creative Loft will identify the missing design, technical and procurement decisions needed before a responsible quotation can be prepared.
