Better first assessments
Structured condition fields and consistent image requests help your team understand likely scope and prepare focused follow-up questions.
Capture material, age, measurements, history, prior work, and desired outcome in separate fields.
Request overall, reverse, maker-mark, and close-up views with clear upload instructions.
Show relevant questions and route each project type to the right reviewer.
One adaptable intake
Start with your specialty, remove unneeded fields, and add your assessment terminology.
Ask about joinery, finish, upholstery, hardware, dimensions, and collection access.
Record format, size, damage, scanning options, and requested output.
Collect affected areas, incident timing, utilities, access, and photos.
Capture medium, maker, provenance, treatment, storage, and frame condition.
Build the workflow
Give the builder your specialty and requirements, then refine how your team reviews and schedules work.
Name accepted objects or sites, condition clues, and work to screen out.
Show photo, furniture, and property questions only when relevant.
Label the exact views needed and make only essential images required.
Notify the right specialist while keeping answers and files together.
Form vs email
A structured form exposes missing dimensions, unclear photos, and unspecified outcomes before review.
Field guide
Collect enough evidence for a first review while noting that scope, feasibility, timing, and pricing may require inspection.
Customer and contact
Collect name, email, phone, preferred contact method, and relationship to the project. Separate the requester from the site-access contact when needed.
Object identity
Use structured fields for type, age, materials, maker, size, and identifying marks. Allow unknown instead of forcing guesses.
Condition
Combine checkboxes for common problems with space to explain when the issue appeared, what caused it, and which areas are affected.
Images and records
Overall views establish context; close-ups reveal damage; reverse, label, and maker-mark images can clarify construction or history.
Desired outcome
Ask whether the goal is stabilization, appearance, function, reconstruction, digital repair, or another result. Intended use can reveal assumptions to discuss.
Logistics
Collect location, access, delivery options, inspection windows, and meaningful deadlines. Treat dates as preferences until confirmed.

FAQ
Practical answers for studios, conservators, repair teams, and property restoration services setting up online intake.
It is an online intake documenting an object, image, or property before review. It keeps contacts, project details, condition, damage history, desired outcome, images, location, and timing together.
Collect contacts, project type, quantity, dimensions, materials, age, maker, condition, damage history, previous work, desired outcome, photos, location, access, and timing. Branch into specialty questions instead of showing everything.
Yes. Begin with a project-type choice and use conditional logic to show the right branch. Furniture can ask about finish and joinery, photo work can ask about originals and outputs, and property requests can ask about affected rooms, utilities, occupancy, and site access.
Ask for a well-lit overall image and damage close-ups. When relevant, request the back, sides, frame, label, maker's mark, surrounding room, or size reference. Explain each view so uploads are useful.
The form can collect the factors your team uses for an initial review and can ask for a budget range. Restoration scope may depend on materials, hidden damage, access, or in-person inspection, so describe any early figure as an estimate and let your specialist confirm what is feasible after review.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and keep collecting restoration requests without a form or response cap. A paid tier is available only to remove the Makeform badge.
Include an urgency choice, incident time, source status, occupancy, utilities, and a site-contact number, then route those submissions for prompt review. Put clear emergency instructions near the form for hazards that need emergency services; a web submission should not replace an emergency call.
Answers and reference files stay together in the Makeform inbox. You can notify reviewers and connect Slack, Google Sheets, or Zapier for assignment and tracking.
Make reviews more useful.
