Interior design client questionnaire and intake form

Start every project with the right information.

Interior design client questionnaire and intake form helps you choose a project type, shape a useful client questionnaire and turn every answer into a working brief, clear requirements and an agreement.

Start free →Explore the workspace

PROJECT SPECIFIC FROM THE START

Use a real question library, then make it yours.

Residential, Commercial and Hospitality projects begin with different questions. Keep the recommended structure, remove what does not apply and send one considered intake.

PROJECT INTAKE

Build the right questionnaire.

Choose the project type, then review the questions before sending.

5 included
Review every included question before it reaches the client.

THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE

Easy to complete, useful when it comes back.

The client moves through clear sections, can return later and reviews their answers before submitting. The studio receives structured information, not another unsearchable email.

  • Progress saves automatically
  • Questions are grouped by project context
