Hannah’s approaches every project considering the CLIENT and SITE FIRST because every CLIENT and every SITE is unique.
Each site is viewed as an opportunity to create a beautiful & functional work of art finding the balance in creativity, environment and economics.
We specialize in High-End Residential property development and design and provide design build services for both Residential and Commercial property development.
The Design Process
Site First
EACH project begins with an onsite consultation with the client.
In this meeting we try to get to know the client and the site & establish their wants, needs and wishes for the site.
Working with the client, we analyze the site and develop a program and scope of work for the project. We follow this with a written proposal and design fees.
Phase 1:
Design Services & Conceptual Masterplans
WE CREATE CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLANS BASED OFF OF ACCURATE BASE MAPS.
Accurate base maps are created by visiting the site, taking measurements, photographing the site, as well as using GOOGLE aerial photography and utilizing available civil surveys.
A typical master plan includes a scaled design for all the Site Elements, Hardscapes, Patios, Pools, Decks, Driveways, etc. The master plan is considered a long range plan and overall vision for the site. With the conceptual master plan completed we will work with the client to establish a realist Budget and determine what needs to be implemented first.
The master plan can be implemented in phases over the course of several years.
Phase 2:
Construction Drawings
Upon approval OF THE ESTABLISHED BUDGET WE WILL review and revise the conceptual master plan, and provide construction drawings for the phase one work.
A typical set of construction drawings includes the following:
- Layout plan / Dimensioning plan
- Grading and Drainage plan
- Construction details
- Planting plan and Planting schedules
- Irrigation and lighting plans
