Where the need is indicated, EDC is also able to provide contract implementation of planting and landscape construction. This is especially important where materials and qualified technical personnel are not readily available. Contract implementation includes :-

1.] Superintendence of landscape installation
2.] Plant materials growing and procurement
3.] Maintenance

Contract implementation is highly recommended, since a detailed drawing plan is only a guide. Moreover, crucial design decisions often have to be made on site due to certain site factors, which can achieve certain outstanding results.

In addition to our design and contract supervision service, we also provide professional advice on landscape management. This service is particularly useful to government organizations and private developers who wish to carry out landscape implementation works using their own labour and resources. Our landscape management services include design, erection and management of plant nurseries, installation of irrigation systems, implementation of landscaping projects and staff training .

PROFESSIONAL FEES

Landscape architecture fees are computed individually for each project structure. For most projects, a lump sum fee is preferable and is carefully computed according to the projected scope of works on the basis of man-month inputs.

Tentative preliminary fee proposals will be readily furnished upon receipt of available site surveys, site photographs or preliminary site plans and programmes along with a general description of the scope of services sought. Preliminary fee proposals include professional fees, reimbursable items of travel, accommodation and other items, which are subject to further negotiation and adjustments.

Progress professional service billings and payments are generally scheduled to coincide with the stages of works :-

1.] Initial site surveys and concept plans
2.] Master site plan and landscape design plans
3.] Construction drawings and specifications
4.] Construction coordination
