Although some customers choose to appoint and supervise contractors themselves, we believe that the designer’s role as landscaping project manager is crucial to the realisation of a successful scheme. In this respect, Spike Jackson has the advantage of many years experience of the “nuts and bolts” aspect of building gardens, having originally trained in Landscape Construction himself.
Our fees for Project Management are typically based on a percentage of the agreed project budget, although we are happy to negotiate an hourly rate if this is preferred. The basic project management package includes:
• drafting of specifications and working drawings to enable tendering for construction work;
• the vetting and selection of contractors;
• the supervision of the construction work to ensure that materials and workmanship are of the highest standard, and that the project is carried out within the required time frame and budget.
• preparation of a maintenance schedule to ensure that the new garden enjoys a high quality of aftercare.
