INFORMATION GATHERING & ANALYSIS

In this stage, we normally seek base information from clients about their property and their intentions. This base information may include but not be limited to:

Site, topography and existing vegetation surveys As-built drawings for existing structures, landscape, irrigation, lighting and drainage house plans and utility locations.

At this point we also ask clients to begin to compile notes or images of environments or elements they see as desirable to incorporate. These may include magazine articles/photographs, travel photos, sketches, material samples, etc. These personal insights are often the best input we receive from clients regarding their vision for a project.

From this information we prepare a Base plan which shows how the home or facility is situated on the site relative to property lines, roads etc. We then make a review of the site with our client taking into account and noting irregularities and specific needs.
