Starting point
Each facility walkthroughs inquiry triggered a hand-written preparation email from the multi-site retail facilities provider. The wording depended on whoever happened to send it.

Helping people prepare for facility walkthroughs
What changed
When it comes to facility walkthroughs, everyone reads the same briefing before the first conversation. Staff stopped re-writing instructions, and attendees stop arriving with the wrong ones.

01Before
Where it started, and what was in the way
The problem
With facility walkthroughs, the briefing's content depended on its author and their afternoon. Consistency, not quality, was what was missing.
02Build
What we built
The new guide walks through property use, floor area and service schedule in everyday language and sets out maintenance coverage and site access requirements. The website asks only for first-contact information; anything sensitive moves through the business's own approved channel later.
