Project readiness brief / Ottawa
Bring the right
questions.
Custom millwork gets easier when the useful details are on the table early. This measured, browser-local guide helps you prepare for a serious first conversation.
Nothing is sent until you submit the contact form.
A working document, not a lead form
Start with what
you know.
There are no wrong answers here. Each prompt is designed to surface the practical conditions that shape drawings, fabrication and installation. Your brief updates as you work and stays in this browser.
More detail is useful, but a partial brief is enough to begin.
The project type changes the questions we should ask about services, use and installation.
Select the pieces you can already picture. This gives the first conversation a useful edge.
The right next step depends on whether we are finding the brief or checking it against drawings.
Existing conditions and coordination often matter as much as the cabinet itself.
These are the details worth photographing, measuring or confirming before a meeting.
Priorities help separate a pleasing reference from a solution that will hold up to real daily use.
A finish can be decided later. Naming the direction helps us talk about durability, detail and maintenance.
You do not need a complete set. Select what can help establish scale and constraints.
Timing is about coordination and decision-making, not a promise of an installation date.
A broad range helps keep the conversation honest. It is not a quote or firm pricing.
A useful hand-off
Bring the brief.
Bring the unknowns too.
You do not need every answer before speaking with Old Salt. We will carry your selections into the contact form, so you only need to add your contact details.
