Starting point
Inquiries about facility walkthroughs reached the block management and facilities firm as free-form emails. Some were detailed, many were a single line, and none followed a shared shape.

Making the first response to facility walkthroughs count
What changed
When it comes to facility walkthroughs, the opening message does the work the third message used to do. The walkthrough improves intake hygiene without implying any request is accepted on arrival.

01Before
Where it started, and what was in the way
The problem
With facility walkthroughs, whoever opened the inbox first had to chase the missing details before the message could be passed on. On a busy day, that follow-up alone could push an answer into the next morning.
02Build
What we built
The new form collects property use, floor area and service schedule at the point of inquiry. Messages land in a readable format with the category identified, and the sender is told the next step is a walkthrough arranged by the account team.
