Design Brief Questionnaire

This quick form (5-10 mins) helps shape your design consultation. To get started, you'll need a plot of land, as it influences key design decisions.

Save your progress anytime and submit when ready – our design team will be in touch within 3 working days.

How It Works

1. Complete your Design Brief (5–10 mins)
Share your ideas, requirements, and key priorities.

2. Design consultation with an expert architectural designer (online or in-person)
Meet online to refine your vision with expert advice. We help to optimize layouts for value and efficiency.

3. Receive

  • Concept layout options shaped to your plot and lifestyle
  • Buildability and value-engineering advice
  • Thermal specification guidance for performance and comfort
  • An indicative programme to plan your build
  • A no-obligation timber frame quotation

Who this is for

  1. Starting from a blank page
  2. Adapting a design you already like
  3. Refining a Fleming Homes plan to fit your plot

We’re not just here for the plans. We’re here for the questions.

Big ones. Small ones. Even the kind Google can’t quite answer.

This is where self-builders start to feel supported —
 with a conversation, a bit of clarity, and a team that genuinely cares.

We designed this questionnaire to help us understand your vision,
 but if you're not sure of the answers yet — that’s perfectly okay.
 We’ll guide you through it.

Let’s take the first step — together
