Building your Trust: Our Project Management Style

Building the landscape design of your dreams can be immensely daunting. It seems like a vision of the future, pushed back time and time again with the emergence of every warm season. What if you wish to marginally alter a portion of the design midway through the project? How can you ensure the integrity of your design company, and their ability to get the job done within your window of time? Not only do you need to make decisions regarding the physicality of your design, but you need to find a company that makes you feel comfortable and confident with the final outcome. Choosing that landscape design company is just as, if not more, important as the layouts and materials that you use in the design itself.

Brandywine Designs LLC is an outdoor masonry, landscape, and horticulture design company that aims to make your experience as a customer as ideal and harmonious as possible. Our project managers, who are also our designers, ensure that the final product reflects your initial vision by maximizing communication with you, the client, and our staff. Designer involvement is what sets us apart, focusing on one design at a time and handling all designs, materials, logistics, and sequence of installation. Here are a few key points of our project management approach that we uphold as we transform your less-than-optimal outdoor space into the patio, kitchen, or landscape of your strongest desires.

Communication

Effective communication is a value that is integral to the facilitation of our projects and the ability to meet our client’s needs and expectations. We not only internally delegate roles to those working within the company, but we keep in touch with you, the client, as much as possible via in-person, phone call, text, or email. Our employees have been with us for a long time and are extremely well-versed in our standards and procedures. Following the initial phone call and consultation, we make sure to maintain correspondence with each and every customer throughout the design and building process.

You have a voice too! Though our building process follows a linear progression, with each phase completed before moving on to the next step, we follow a more flexible approach. Focusing on adaptive planning, cooperation, and continuous improvement, we emphasize frequent feedback and the ability to respond to any alterations quickly. As people, we change our minds constantly, so our design process is fully collaborative. To optimize communication, our client has the ability to make tweaks and adjustments as each step throughout the project progresses.

Detail-Orientation

Brandywine Designs does not aim to simply finish or rush a job. Instead, we place emphasis on paying close attention to and thoroughly understanding the specifications of our client’s needs and the nuances of tasks, processes, proper tools, and projects. Our style involves a focus on accuracy, precision, and meticulous attention to detail in all aspects of our work. If we make a mistake, we admit to it and fix it, and, to further care for your property, we often take care of mistakes made by past companies.

In the initial stages of our design process, we carefully examine and evaluate your style and taste via a Pinterest board to craft an outdoor space that perfectly fits your vision. As we advance into our conceptual design phase, we make note of the little things from the selection of light fixtures, plants, materials, and finishes. Then, throughout the action of building, our employees focus on small details to turn that vision into a reality. Once the project is completed, we conduct a thorough walk-through of your property to ensure that all expectations have been satisfied or exceeded.

Maintenance of Timelines and Deadlines

We understand that you value time, which is why we are dedicated to providing you with high-end landscape designs and high-quality construction within your preferred timeline. We value strong organizational skills and effective time management skills to plan and prioritize tasks, allocate sufficient time for each portion of the building process, unforeseen weather, and delivery obstacles, and meet your deadlines without compromising accuracy or quality.

Once the design and specifications of your outdoor dream space are completed, we develop a realistic project plan that takes your deadline, the scope of work, and available resources into account. Thereafter, as we utilize our step-by-step process, we continue to keep you informed about the project’s progress regularly, including milestones and upcoming deadlines within our drafted timeline. With Brandywine Designs LLC, you can experience the flawless fusion of efficiency, effectiveness, and elegance in regard to your outdoor space.

Building Trust

We not only want to leave you with the landscape, masonry, or patio design of your wildest imagination, but we want to make sure that the conceptual and building process is just seamless as the final result. Brandywine Designs understands that trust is built through effective communication, consistency in our actions, and genuine care. Before, during, and after your project, we provide ongoing effort and attention to deliver on our promises. You’ll have the owner’s contact information, and the owner will check after each job for quality control. We value transparent communication, active listening, consistency, reliability, and respect to exceed your expectations with our company. No one on our team is paid by commission, so you will not be pressured to purchase more expensive upgrades, add-ons, or unnecessary items. To make your dream a reality, you want a company you can trust, and with our project management style, we strive to provide that promised experience.

The core of our process, however, revolves around these six questions. Through our project management style, we strive to answer each of these to their fullest extent.

What problems do you want to solve?

The best designs occur when finding a solution to a problem. We want to address your concerns of your current outdoor space and elevate them to cater to your wants and needs.

How do you want to feel in your new space?

Our goal is to create a space that makes your home feel complete, focusing on key elements that will bring you the most joy. It’s not necessarily about the specificities of the design or build, but about you, your personality, and your lifestyle.

What do you and your partner agree and disagree about?

Designing and building a beautiful landscape is not just a collaborative process with us but one between you and your partner. In the design process, we want the optimal solution established so all parties are satisfied with the final product.

What is your budget?

We like to establish, as early as possible, a realistic budget, so our designers can fulfill the requirements of the project more effectively, saving you time and money. We will communicate thoroughly with you throughout this process.

When do you want the project to be completed?

In our building process, we emphasize a clear time frame to keep everyone on the same page and ensure that the project runs as smoothly as possible.

How can we make your space feel like home?

Though resale value is important, we think the value that your new outdoor space brings to you and your family is just as important. We urge our clients to consider the additive worth of their homes but focus on how they will use and enjoy the space in the now.
