Larger Projects Many of these larger projects are integrated with home renovation or new home construction. Garden Gate works closely with your architect, builder or interior designer to coordinate and ensure a total solution. Garden Gate’s Design/Build/Maintain process is well suited to the demands of these larger, more complex projects. We will mutually define the landscape elements and phases to be included in your project and the estimated budget range for each element or phase. A Design/Build Services Agreement will be presented that outlines the project elements and/or phases with associated budget ranges. To initiate the design phase, a retainer fee on the project is required. The time for design work is billed against the retainer fee. The balance of the retainer fee is applied toward the deposit on the project. Note: It is our intention to minimize design fees so that the majority of the retainer fee is applied towards the installation phase of your project. Upon the receipt of a design retainer fee and a completed questionnaire, we will perform the following services: Once design work is completed, a written proposal will be presented for your review and final approval. Upon approval and receipt of a project deposit, Garden Gate will schedule your installation at the earlier date possible. Scheduling Variables |
