Whether you’re designing a new residential landscape, revamping a streetscape, or are in the planning stages of a large-scale development project, we can bring our expertise in design, functionality, and sustainability to the project through a number of services tailored to your project. Below are some of the services we can offer.
• Master planning: creation of a framework plan to guide future development. Master plans often include drawings, but also may include comprehensive reports and cost estimation to provide short- and long-term guidance.
• Concept design: high-level drawings that illustrate major site and landscape elements that define exterior spaces. Concepts may include sample details and material options for major elements, and can be used to create construction estimates that can be worked into future budgets. Residential projects may be able to be constructed from conceptual designs, with the right contractor.
• Detailed design: fully detailed drawings that build on a concept design. Materials and other elements are defined, and drawings are suitable for contractor pricing and construction. Detailed drawings can be incorporated into construction contract documents.
• Tender and contract administration: landscape architects don’t install landscapes, but we can oversee construction, and manage contracts between owners and contractors. This creates quality assurance during construction, and provides project owners with reassurance that contractual obligations are being met by contractors.
• Community consultation and public engagement: client groups can be large, and user groups and other stakeholders often have competing interests. Landscape architects can help owners navigate these complex situations by providing engagement activities designed to identify project priorities and common themes, and to ensure projects meet the needs of all user groups. See Our Services [WH1] page for more information.
• Feasibility studies: documents that explore preliminary project design options, identify opportunities and challenges, define future project objectives, capture project costs, and recommend an action plan for project completion. These preliminary design documents are often geared towards owner groups pursuing funding opportunities.
• Coordination within a larger design project: some projects are large and complex, and already have a team of design professionals engaged for other aspects of the project. Landscape architects frequently work within large teams, providing coordination of consultants for all aspects of site and landscape design.
