Frequently asked questions

Is the design brief builder really free?

Yes, completely free. No sign-up required to start. You only provide your email when you want to download the finished brief or send it to ZADS.

What happens to my brief after I submit it?

Your brief is sent to the ZADS team so they can review it before your first consultation. It helps the team give you more relevant advice from the first conversation.

Do I need to answer every question?

No. You can mark any question "Not sure yet" and move on. The brief is still useful with partial answers — your architect will go through the open items with you.

Can I save my progress and come back later?

Yes. Your answers are saved automatically in your browser as you go. You can close the page and continue where you left off on the same device.

Does the builder work for commercial projects?

Yes. The brief builder supports both residential and commercial projects. Choose your project type at the start and the questions will adapt accordingly.

What format is the export in?

You can download your brief as a formatted PDF or an editable Word document. There is also a blank template available if you prefer to fill it in manually.
