Our Process - Landbox Landscape Architecture Studio

In this initial phase, we focus on understanding your vision and developing a conceptual framework for your project. Here’s what to expect:

Landscape Vision: A detailed discussion to capture your ideas and preferences.
Concept Plan: A schematic-level design that outlines the project’s basic layout and features.
Character Images: Visual references that help define the style and aesthetics of your landscape.
Scope Narrative & Graphic Delineation: A comprehensive overview of the project’s scope, including visual and written descriptions.
Budget: An initial budget estimate to align expectations.
Defined Revisions: We will outline the number of meetings and revisions included in this phase, with final sign-off required by the client.

For clients seeking a streamlined and integrated process:

Retainer Agreement: A percentage of the budget is required as a non-refundable retainer to proceed with our sister company, The Todd Group Inc.
Design Refinements: Our team will refine the drawings and details to finalize the build project.
No Additional Design Fees: All design costs are included to the build project per the agreed upon scope, thus eliminating unexpected expenses.
Retainer Application: Once the build proposal is approved, the retainer is applied toward the project deposit.
Streamlined Process: This approach ensures direct communication with our design and build teams, providing continuity and efficiency.
Additional Tools: Depending on project needs, we may provide product samples, additional sketches, or images to finalize the design.

For clients preferring a traditional design path:

Refined Plans and Documents: Includes a detailed design development plan, construction documents, specifications, and bid documents.
Client Ownership: You retain ownership of all documents and may use them independently.
Extended Timeline: This approach typically requires more time and resources.
Optional Services: For an additional fee, our design team can oversee the bidding and construction process.

At this stage, we bring your vision to life:

Design Administration: For both design-only and design-build projects, you can choose to retain our design team to oversee the implementation process.
Extra Services: Any changes to the project documents during this phase will be considered additional services, billed at an agreed-upon fixed fee or hourly rate.
