Your project, organized

Build your suite planning brief

Start with four choices. Get a checklist tailored to your project, then add details when you have them. No measurements or contact details needed to preview or download your brief.

This interactive planner needs JavaScript. You can still prepare a brief: record your suite type, property jurisdiction, access needs and kitchen plans, then ask your planning department and a qualified designer what needs verification.

01 Start with the essentials

Which suite path are you considering?Where is the property?Choose Kansas City, Missouri for Northland properties within KCMO city limits. Your mailing city may differ from your permitting jurisdiction.What should daily access support?How will meals work?

02 · Add rooms and known concerns Optional

What rough layout do you have in mind?What bathroom work do you expect?

Any known concerns?Water, dampness or musty odorsDrainage or sewer elevation is uncertainSteps or a difficult entry routeUtility capacity or route is uncertainSetbacks, easements or available space are uncertain

Other priorities or questions Optional · 1,500 characters maximum

Please leave out medical records, access codes and other sensitive information. Your choices are sent only when you submit a quote request. Download a copy to keep them for yourself.

03 · Prepare for professional review Optional

Before asking for comparable proposals, gather a parcel or site plan, photos, approximate room measurements and any existing plans. Ask each professional to distinguish observed conditions from assumptions.

Your brief records preferences. A designer, local authority and contractor still need to verify feasibility, approvals, quantities and prices. Send the brief when you are ready; we reply within one business day to set up the design visit.

04 Request your design visit
