DESIGN CONSULTATION

An on-site design consultation is an essential starting point to meet one another in person, visually see the site and existing conditions together, talk through and imagine the essential design program and wishlist. We may even have time to sketch out some conceptual spatial arrangement ideas together on paper.

I love to have all stakeholders present at this first on-site meeting in order to receive the full breadth of client input.

On-site design consultations are typically 2-3 hours and offered at my normal billing rate of $120/hr, prorated to the quarter hour. Minimum rate is $240. Maximum rate is $500.

Please CONTACT me to schedule an on-site Design Consultation.

DESIGN FEES

As a very general rule of thumb, most property owners who choose professional landscape design and construction services typically invest around 10-20% of the value of their property on landscape construction. This obviously depends on so many factors which all narrow down to what an individual client wants and needs out of the exterior spaces that make up their property.

Likewise, most property owners typically invest around 10-20% of the cost of landscape construction on landscape architecture services.

So, another general rule of thumb is total landscape architecture fees typically fall within 1-2% of the value of a property. Sometimes less, sometimes more. This all depends on the area to be designed and individual components that make up the entirety of the overall design.

DESIGN PROCESS

I have inherited my design process through the past three decades of experience in the LA industry and consists of FIVE general stages:

1) CONCEPTUAL / SCHEMATIC DESIGN

2) DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

3) CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

4) BIDDING

5) CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
