Happy New Financial Year!
July marked the beginning of the Institute’s new financial year and
we are pleased to report that with the recent change in management,
Lyndall Roman was appointed as our Bookkeeper who together with
Bernice Holly, our National Secretary, ensured that we successfully
completed our year end in record time. Once the results have been
audited, they will be distributed to Members and presented at the
next AGM. Our thanks go to Bernice and Lyndall for their sterling
efforts!
We couldn’t talk about important events in July without mentioning
one of the greatest figures of the 20th century, Nelson Mandela’s 90th
birthday which took place on 18th July. To commemorate Madiba’s
birthday, Natalie Knight curated a beautiful exhibition at the Constitutional Court in Braamfontein. See page 8 for further details □

professional fees. These merely serve as a guideline as ultimately fees are negotiated between our
Members and their clients. In order to ensure that fees reflect current market pricing structures the IID are
inviting Professional Members to partake in the following workshop:

Better Briefs for Profitable Design
How much money do you lose due to poor briefs? When was the last time you had to put more hours into a project than
you'd anticipated? Have you ever delayed billing because there was no agreed milestone to trigger payment? When was
the last time you had a disagreement with a client about the scope of a project? Poor briefs cost you time and money.
As members of the International Federation of Interior Architects / Designers (IFI), the IID has access to designers,
design events and information from across the world. Here’s an extract from an article published by the Design Institute
of Australia (DIA) that we believe is of relevance and interest to our Members:
“DIA research indicated that, on average, designers are giving away one third of their time. By improving the quality of
your project briefs, their structure and detail you can improve the earning capacity of your business by reducing at least
one cause for lost time.
The rare client brief
In the ideal world at the beginning of every project a client provides you with a brief. It is clearly written, contains the
aims of the project, the background information that you'll need to understand the scope of the job, the financial and time
constraints and includes a succinct list of deliverables. In the real world you find yourself in a meeting where a number of
the client's staff seem to be inventing a loose wish list for the product on the spot. Or where the client tables a project
document of which thirty pages are a legal contract and one spartan page is a broad statement about the project.
The reality for many projects is that the client does not provide a written brief. They discuss their thoughts and desires
with the designer, perhaps show some sketches or models or prior art and then ask the designer for a quote. More often
than not the designer ends up writing the brief. However, it is no longer a brief in the strict sense of being the client's
instructions it now also doubles as a fee proposal or quote. Designers sometimes express a preference for briefs that
are short and relatively unconstrained. They would like freedom to interpret the project needs in the broadest way. If you
are the one writing the brief and it has now become the basis for your contractual responsibilities, short briefs are not
likely to be in your interest.
The advantages of the designer written brief
There are many clients, small and large, who have little or no experience of purchasing or directing professional
services. Their ability to prepare a useful brief is limited. Therefore the first advantage to the designer writing the brief is
that you define the scope of work. You'll have to think clearly about the tasks you'll need to perform, the order in which
you'll do them and the time to allow for each. Your brief serves as your quote calculation document. A designer written
brief is likely to be a better process document. It will be structured to suit a designer's normal workflow and is more likely
to result in an efficient project. And obviously, if you write the brief you can ensure that the terms are not to your
disadvantage by limiting your exposure to risk and providing you with the flexibility to get the best outcome.
Cont on page 4
iid insight e-newsletter page 4 www.iidprofessions.com
What should be in a brief?
The brief defines a project by specifying the nature and extent of the work being requested and what the objectives and
constraints of the project are. A designer written brief will also be a quoting guide, a contractual document, a process
control document, a financial control document and a project review guide. From a client perspective a well-written brief
can save money by enabling a designer to quote more accurately by helping them to understand whether what is being
proposed meets their needs and by ensuring a better outcome by providing succinct information to review the project
against. From a designer perspective a well written brief protects the designer from misunderstandings about the work to
be performed and helps them to avoid unexpected overruns.
Suggested brief content:
- A summary statement of the task (project aims) - List of stages and project milestones - List of requirements for inclusion in the solution - Scope of work statement - List of deliverables - List of project exclusions - Responsibilities for both client and designer - Staff allocation for the project - Design fees by stage
- Billing schedule - A statement of financial constraints - A statement of time constraints - General trading terms & conditions - Project timetable - Previous project histories that have led to this
brief (optional) - Any other information or research which will
help to perform the task (optional)
The myth of the lineal process
The classical description of a brief defines design as a lineal process. It describes projects by stages and gives the
impression that there are distinct stopping points. This is a source of conflict for designers. The process of design can be
far from lineal. In projects that have outcomes and financing that allow for a flexible process the project often loops back
over earlier stages as new information is gathered and learnt during the product development process. Even though it
may not accurately indicate the process the designer will follow, using a lineal staged approach in a brief is useful both in
determining the amount of work that needs to be done and in providing a basis for continual invoicing and cash flow. It
also provides a comfortable and understandable description of the project for the client.
Why will the design take so long?
The fundamental conflict between client and designer could be defined as the designer wanting to do the least amount of
work for the highest remuneration and the client wanting to pay the least amount of money for the most work. Detailing a
list of tasks under each stage heading both helps the client to visualise the complexity of the project and ensures that the
designer is more likely to quote accurately. It will make it easier to justify the time to the client.
Time, quality, price - the fundamental trade-off
Ideally the fee proposal/brief should lead to a negotiation of project scope, cost and duration. Unfortunately designers
are often faced with competitive quoting where the first offer is taken to be their final and only position on a project. The
successful tenderer is often chosen based on their initial quote.
Cont on page 5
iid insight e-newsletter page 5 www.iidprofessions.com
Time, quality, price - the fundamental trade-off (cont)
Where possible avoid this by tabling an un-costed brief and have a face-to-face meeting with the client in which the
scope of work is explained and the possible trade-offs are discussed. Based on the agreements reached in this
discussion you can then provide a costed quote that matches the client's priorities.
In any project there are trade-offs between what is produced, at what cost and in what time frame. You can have high
quality in a short time but you'll need to pay more for the resources required. In general you can't have a high quality
outcome in a short time for no money. This trade-off is the essence of negotiating the scope of work and cost in a brief.
Designers are often their own worst enemies. A designer's desire to achieve the best outcome for every project is a
common trap in design consulting. Designers are notorious for providing more than they've quoted to supply. If the client
has agreed to a brief that outlines a ten hour project then you should plan to provide the best solution available in ten
hours.
Pitfalls in brief writing
Don't over promise - include precisely what the client requires and avoid the temptation to promise extra activities,
features or constraints. Anticipate and exclude extensions - if there are foreseeable ways in which the project may
diverge from the intention of your quote make sure you document and exclude them.
Document and cost or exclude external expenses - make sure it is clear who is responsible for external expenses.
Don't commit to unrealistic time frames - if the client is requiring time frames that you know are unachievable refer to the
quality/time/cost trade-off and ensure that the project can afford the price and resources that will be required and that
you have considered the risks to your business if timeframes slip.
Avoid being responsible for project overruns that are not in your control. Don't take on responsibilities that you are not
being recompensed for.
Identify and exclude activities that are not quantifiable. In projects where the client is looking for the lowest possible price
be sure to separate the core design tasks from sourcing and sub-contracting tasks.
Other things to consider and document are time overruns by other suppliers, reworks caused by changes to brief, design
iterations by other suppliers and delays in client decisions.
Keeping it real
Clearly the extent of the brief and the things that it attempts to document should bear some relationship to the financial
value (and risk) of the project. Many businesses find it good practice to have two or three standard brief structures that
cater for the generic requirements of small, medium and large projects with progressively more complex controls as the
project value increases” □
