How to read this tool’s output
Stage 1 (brief). The output of this tool is the input to stage 2 (survey). Use it to align internal stakeholders before the first studio meeting.
What an engineer should know
The assumptions behind the numbers this tool produces.
- The six structured questions are calibrated to surface the scope-shaping decisions — discipline mix, room types, sectors, and timeline — before the first conversation.
- Architects and consultants typically use the wizard as a pre-engagement briefing instrument; homeowners use it to articulate scope in writing.
When this tool is the right one
The project moments and room types this is built for.
- Architect or designer briefing the integrator before the first studio meeting.
- Homeowner articulating multi-discipline scope before a quote conversation.
What changes the answer in practice
Field conditions that move the result away from the planning figure.
- Multi-sector projects (e.g. mixed-use residential + retail) should submit the brief twice with the dominant scope each time.
Defensible starting architectures
Vendor-neutral reference points, not a recommendation to buy — the right answer is the one that survives your site survey.
- Single-brief, written reply within two working days — no quote attached.
Common mistakes
Failure patterns we see on real projects.
- Treating it as a quote tool — the wizard is a brief, not a price.
- Skipping the sector field — sector materially changes the design defaults.
How this lands against adjacent systems
What else has to be agreed before this output is safe to build to.
- Output flows into the CRM and triggers a written reply — not a calendar invite.
What this tool does not do
Deliberate limits — where the estimate stops and design begins.
- Does not produce price.
- Does not commit to a delivery date until stage 2 (survey).

Multi-System Project Delivery· Why it matters
A good first brief saves a month. The wizard captures the same fields a project lead would ask for in the first conversation — sector, scope, scale, stage, timeline and project scale — so the response that comes back is specific, not generic. Architects, principal consultants and direct owners all use it; the structure is the same, the depth is yours to choose.
· Frequently asked
The brief —
what people ask first.
How long does it take to fill?
Six steps, around four to six minutes if you know the basics — sector, disciplines, square footage, stage, timeline and project scale. The wizard does not require an account, and it does not save a draft — set aside one short sitting and submit in one pass.
What happens after I submit?
A project lead reads the brief, pulls the right reference projects, and writes back within two working days. The first reply is always a written response — no auto-replies, no sales-development call.
Do I need drawings to start?
No. The wizard works with text alone — there is no file upload. If you have drawings, schedules or a project brief, mention them in the wizard and share them by email or WhatsApp after you submit; they sharpen the response, but they are not a gate.
How do you scope a project — do I need a budget?
No budget figure is needed to start. The wizard captures project scale (single space, whole floor, whole building or multi-building) rather than a money band, because pricing depends on drawings, site conditions, system scope, brands, integration depth and commissioning. Share your drawings, BOQ or project brief on WhatsApp/call +91 88110 34444 or email info@technoguru.in for a written estimate after review.
Is this the same as /contact?
More structured. /contact is for any general enquiry — partnerships, careers, press. The wizard is the project-specific intake; it routes the brief to the right project lead with the right context attached.

a longer note?
The wizard is the fast path. If your brief needs three paragraphs and a drawing set, write to the studio directly — the same project lead will read it.
