Our advantage in this industry is that we offer industry an recognised design and construction capability. Provision of Concept and Planting Plans to accompany construction projects allows the design intent to be seen by the client during the planning and operational work stages.
This achieves a better understanding of expected outcomes, sympathetic alterations and allows for better control over the final quality of the landscape.
We provide a hands on approach to design extending from the initial contact, plan creation to implementation. Our on-site consultations involve reviewing the client's brief in the context of site factors, aesthetics, functionalism and budget.
The provision of plan work on certain projects enables the
client to visualise the design intent. These plans combined
with the ‘job file’ ensure the site supervisor
and project manager are aware of the agreed project scope
and fully briefed on the expected layout and desired
aesthetic outcome.
In the construction stage we provide regular onsite
consultation between the Landscape architect, Leading Hand and
client. This allows the project brief and associated contract
to be maintained and suitably adapted whilst remaining true to
the design intent
Our strength in this industry is a result of actively
involving a qualified Landscape Architect in all levels of our
projects. The integration of the Landscape Architects
perspective in all aspects of the business, from initial site
consultation, estimations and proposals, construction
management to hand over ensures the highest possible outcome
in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
Where a project is accompanied by an existing plan and/or an
exterior Landscape architect/architect, we bring a
professional understanding and interpretation of the provided
plan work and documentation. Furthermore, the availability of
qualified design professional as project manager also
facilitates the ongoing site related discussions in order to
realise a projects full design intent.
Where the size or complexity of the project requires it, Conceptual plan work, Surfaces treatment plans, Planting layouts and Construction detailing will be provide prior to commencement of works.
