Checking a Landscape Drawing Against the Written Brief: Organizing the Handoff

Compare a landscape drawing with the written brief by checking the intended use and the boundaries of the proposed work. A drawing and a proposal can explain different parts of the same discussion.
Match the main uses
Locate the entrances, routes and activity areas mentioned in the brief. Ask how the proposed arrangement responds to them. If an important use is unclear, record the question rather than assuming it has been handled elsewhere.
Identify undecided details
Ask which elements are selected and which are illustrative or still under discussion. Keep material and planting questions visible. An example on a preliminary drawing should not silently become an agreed specification.
Keep versions aligned
Save the drawing with the proposal and brief version it belongs to. When the layout changes, check which written descriptions need updating. Use the current https://easypdfshare.com/p/YNpnzxiVgIEiMPvJW_Zxj.pdf set during later conversations so that an earlier image does not contradict a revised scope.

Keep the next decision clear
Keep the record short enough to use during a conversation. List the intended use, the agreed description and the remaining questions together, with the relevant current proposal rather than scattered messages.
