A likely brief, not a generic example

A typical Poole brief is a quayside restaurant winter refresh, full strip and prep of high-humidity walls, low-VOC two-coat emulsion to ceilings, eggshell to all joinery, completed inside a two-week closure window.

Planning around access, use and finish

Harbour-side wind exposure and salt spray favour two-pack coatings and tight weather windows on exteriors.

Quayside humidity needs anti-mould-treated primers in bar/restaurant zones

02

Sandbanks-area residential and commercial drives demand for ultra-discreet site etiquette

03

Working near Sunseeker / RNLI HQ frequently requires extra security inductions
