ILLUSTRATIVE OUTLINE — FOR SCOPING DISCUSSION

Wayfinding hierarchy and sign schedule

An illustrative design brief for helping people understand destinations and make route decisions through a place.

1. Journey and decision points
The destinations, entrances, route choices and points where orientation information is needed.

2. Information hierarchy
Naming, language, visual hierarchy and tactile or other format considerations for agreed sign types.

3. Sign schedule
A structured list of sign locations, messages, review status and fabrication questions.

A USEFUL STARTING POINT
- A destination list, public floor plans and known navigation problems.
- Approved naming conventions, brand guidance and language requirements.
- Existing signs and the roles responsible for content, facilities and user review.

WHAT WE AGREE BEFORE STARTING
- Fabrication specifications, tactile details and mounting must be validated with qualified suppliers and applicable requirements.
- Emergency, fire and regulated signage require the appropriate specialist approval and are not assumed to be covered.

Final methods, contents and responsibilities are agreed in your proposal.
