Design & Engineering

We are landscape architects.  Like architects designing a building, we assemble a team of consultants as needed to meet the needs of each project.  Our well-established relationships with leading engineering firms (civil, geotechnical, environmental, electrical, traffic) enable seamless coordination through Warner Larson with a single point-of-contact for our clients.  As the lead site consultant, we confidently achieve our pledge to provide functional, innovative and sustainable solutions. 

 

The design process typically includes three phases of progressively increasing detail with client approval at the completion of each phase.  These phases are:

 

  • Schematic Design
    Alternative concepts are developed based on the client’s objectives and the program is fleshed out with cost estimates to allow an informed choice in design direction.
  • Design Development
    The selected schematic design is developed in detail with an itemized cost estimate to enable fine-tuning of the design and selection of materials.
  • Construction Documents
    Drawings and specifications are prepared for competitive bidding and construction based on the approved Design Development plan. These detailed documents become the basis of the construction contract.
