What Information Should I Send for a Custom Furniture Project?

Frequently asked questions
DO I NEED ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS?
No, not necessarily to start.
DO I NEED EXACT MEASUREMENTS?
Approximate dimensions can begin the conversation.
CAN I UPLOAD PHOTOS?
The project pathway should provide photo upload capability.
SHOULD I SEND MY BUDGET?
If the customer chooses to provide one, it can help frame the project conversation, but do not require a budget field unless Lloyd’s wants it.
HAVE AN IDEA BUT NOT A DRAWING?
THAT’S FINE.
Send Lloyd’s a photo of the space, approximate dimensions and an explanation of what the finished piece needs to do.
