PRIVATE GARDENS - Planning topics

As a first step we obtain necessary information on the planning basic data and the preliminaries. Since these plans are made by computer fully thus accuracy and elaboration of the basic map will influence the reliability of such projects to be formed later. After analysis of the basic data we recommend to make the basic map and to process it, respectively. It may be done so that from the permission documentation some architectural ground plans will be taken or the existing manual drawings would be digitalized. Usually we offer our own digital geodesy which corresponds to the exact record of the actual conditions. This survey will be obtained separately thus it as a layout plan can be used for a subsequent building. Parallel with the geodesy - provided that a garden should be reconstructed or a semi-finished one should be completed - the existing green surface elements of the garden will be surveyed too. By the way, using a digital photographic method several types of cover, equipment, places of lamps and existing vegetation can be recorded. At the same time the actual technical problems are surveyed too. During process of the beginning basic data, namely within the frame of a conversation we obtain information on the owner’s demand.

In this way we make the conception plan of the landscape-architecture. By which the functional parameters of the spaces to be arranged within the garden are determined. Considering the exact layout dimensions the covered surfaces, equipments and all the components determining the whole garden will be indicated. The plantation - wihout denomination - will be demonstrated corresponding to its character. One part of our plans is constituted by the conception elaborated for the garden light. We have however proposals for existing technical problems to be solved, too. Modifying the conception plan we elaborate the right garden project if required which can meet - in all respects - the owner’s requirements.

After closing the conception plan the costs related to the landscape-architecture will be estimated roughly. In this estimation the materials to be used for building and the related construction works are listed by item. On the basis of the conception plan and this estimation any quotation can be requested from the contractors. For comparison of these items we can help the owner. After a competition or tender it can be seen that at what price the garden would be constructed. In such case the owner has to decide if he would allocate this amount for the project or not. If he does so we shall advise him for the schedule of the works - for several years too. If the owner does not allocate this amount needed for the landscape-architecture so we shall examine whether the costs would be reduced and the conception plan will be elaborated accordingly.

After all the garden project can be implemented according to the owner’s demand and to the financial conditions.

In the last phase, starting from the program of the conception plan several detailed execution plans needed for part projects and plantation plans will be made.

Upon the owner’s request we will provide a foreman’s service for the construction works but the designing consultation constitutes an integral part of the project.
