Construction documents are the technical
drawings that are given to a contractor for
use in bidding and construction. They
transform the illustrative Master Plan into
a how-to set of documents that provides the
necessary information to build the elements
of the design so the end result looks like
the vision established by the Master Plan.
A typical construction document set often
includes the following drawings:
-
Demolition Plan - defines
existing site conditions that are to be
removed or protected.
-
Layout Plan - tells a
contractor what to build and where.
-
Grading and Drainage Plan -
provides a contractor with finish grades
and elevations, and methods to deal with
surface water and drainage.
-
Planting Plan - the planting
design for a project is done after
master planning is complete and
landscape spaces are clearly defined.
The design is always site specific and
tailored to meet our clients' styles and
goals.
-
Lighting Plan -
the
lighting design is often done after the
planting design is complete to highlight
specific planting and to accommodate
plant locations
-
Construction Details -
details define the way landscape
elements are built or installed by
specifying materials and construction
methods all the way down to the nuts and
bolts used.
