Decision Centre
Start with the decision you're stuck on.
Not articles to read — short conversations with Habitat's guidance, each ending in a Decision Brief you can take to management. Finish one and it points you to the decision that usually comes next.
The first guided decisions are being written by Habitat now.
Each one is drawn from real projects rather than generic advice, so they are published only when the guidance is worth acting on. In the meantime the planning tools below answer the same questions today — budget, readiness, risk, timeline and vendor shortlisting.

- 03DesignHow the workplace should work before it looks good.
- 04MaterialsWhat to specify, and what it will cost to keep.
- 05CommercialContracts, vendors and commercial terms.
- 06ExecutionSequencing, occupied sites and handover.
- 07Office CareKeeping the workplace working after day one.
we would work through the budget and workplace strategy decisions first, before looking at a single design option. Almost every expensive change we have seen on site traces back to one of those two being settled late.
