Before commissioning SUDS, Drainage & Flood, it is worth pausing long enough to gather the information that will shape the scope properly. Projects often lose time not because the service is complex, but because basic inputs are missing when the brief is issued.
Use this guidance to check what may be needed before you submit information.
If the wording on your planning condition, tender request or site constraint is unclear, send it to EnviroSolution and we can advise which report, survey or assessment is likely to be relevant.
Why this helps
Well-prepared briefs create better outputs. The consultant can focus on the right risks, the project team gets clearer advice and the end result is more likely to support planning, design or construction decisions without a second round of clarification.
Even a short checklist improves consistency. It also makes it easier to compare options, manage fees and explain internally why SUDS, Drainage & Flood is being commissioned at this stage.
