Client Requirements Gathering & Programming
10 min
What you will learn
- Use AI to develop comprehensive client questionnaires by project type
- Create architectural programs that translate client needs into spatial requirements
- Build space analysis reports that compare client needs to available area
- Develop design brief templates that capture both functional and experiential requirements
# Client Requirements Gathering & Programming
Most design failures trace back to requirements failures. AI helps you capture requirements more completely.
Client Interview Preparation
Generate a comprehensive client interview questionnaire for:
Project type: Medical office renovation (5,000 sq ft tenant improvement)
Client: Orthopedic surgery practice, 3 physicians, 8 support staff
Interview questionnaire sections:
1. PRACTICE OPERATIONS
- Patient volume (current and projected 5-year)
- Types of visits (initial consult, follow-up, injection, cast/splint)
- Average visit duration by type
- Patient flow from arrival to departure
- Imaging on-site (X-ray? MRI? DEXA?)
- Procedures performed in-office vs. referred out
2. SPACE REQUIREMENTS
- Number of exam rooms needed (current and future)
- Consultation rooms vs. procedure rooms
- Imaging suite requirements (if applicable)
- Cast/splint room needs
- Staff workstations and workflow
- Storage (medical supplies, orthotics, samples)
- Break room and staff areasUnlock this lesson
