Design and Build Process
Phase 1 – Initial Consultation
A consultation will be arranged at a time and date convenient to you.
During this first meeting we are able to assess your existing garden and discuss with you your plans and aspirations for the space.
At this stage it is helpful to have an idea of your budget. This gives us a clearer indication of what is achievable and helps us to present ideas that are realistic to your finances.
Phase 2 – Proposal
After the consultation we will compile you a proposal. The proposal outlines the elements discussed at the meeting and gives you an estimate of a realistic starting budget.
Phase 3 – Design Agreement
If you decide that you are happy to proceed we will send you a design agreement.
The agreement outlines our terms and conditions for the design work. It gives you, the client, a signed document of what to expect at the different stages of the design process.
Phase 4 – Site Survey
A basic survey will be taken of the garden area. The boundaries, level changes and where necessary the underground services, will be plotted in preparation for the next phase.
Phase 5 – Sketch Plans
Once the survey is completed we will present you with 2-3 hand drawn sketch plans. These sketches will show how the garden can be divided to give you the optimum use of your space and to create areas of interest.
Phase 6– Planting Plan
The design package will also include a planting plan or planting suggestions.
A maintenance guide for plants can also be provided on request.
Phase 7 – Build Costs
The next stage is the implementation of the design. In order for the build to proceed we will give you a breakdown of how much the build of the design is expected to cost.
When this is agreed, we will send all the necessary paperwork to initiate the build. This will include our terms and conditions along with the works and payment schedules.
