LANDSCAPE PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTION

The work is generally divided into the following stages:

1. Conceptual Design and Charettes

The success of the design of an outdoor area depends largely on the knowledge and understanding of existing conditions. SC Paisajismo’s team draws up a complete site analisis of the factors that influence the space.

As we develop the first conceptual designs and participate in charettes, we offer a first overview of the potential of the project, often proposing various alternatives to help define the path to follow. In this phase, we provide schematic key plans and sketches that enable a better visualization of the concepts put forward to the client.

2. Design Development and Construction Documents

SC Paisajismo develops the design chosen by the client (proyecto básico) and puts together a complete package of construction documents (proyecto de ejecución) for landscaping of outdoor spaces, patios, or building atriums, in which the civil work and planting are described, including the written description, technical specifications regarding the execution of the project, as well as the plans and construction details necessary for the tender and execution of a project.

3. Budget

The success of a project also depends on meeting the financial requirements. Every project includes take-offs and precise details necessary for the project valuation. The schematic design package may include a preliminary cost. In the detail design and construction drawing stage a detailed breakdown of costs is included, which helps to evaluate feasability before the tender process.

4. Construction Observation

The construction observation is the culmination of any landscaping project. In this phase, the progress of the construction is carefully controlled and the work carried out by the contractors duly monitored, as are the fulfilment of the details in the plans and the observation of the technical specifications. Frequent visits to the construction site are essential to detect any deviations from the original plan, study problems in the execution and efficiently resolve doubts and queries that surface during the construction phase.

5. Maintenance and follow up

In order to ensure the correct establishment and maintenance of the landscape, we also offer our clients the possibility of having our experts in horticulture meet periodically with the landscape contractor to correct deficiencies and review procedures. In this way the service is complete, and avoids the degrading of a project due to inappropriate landscape maintenance.
