Our elegant outdoor spaces and patio designs are customized to your needs and designed to improve your life. Here's what you can expect when designing and building a landscape with us!
1. Phone Call
The first step in the process is a simple phone call to discuss your project. Brandywine Designs will ask questions about your outdoor spaces and the changes you want to make to them to get a basic understanding of the project. If there is potential to work together, the company will set up a mutually agreeable meeting time.
2. Initial Consultation
The initial consultation is where the real work begins. It may last from 1-2 hours or more, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. Brandywine Designs will ask detailed questions to ensure they thoroughly understand your dreams for your new space. They will walk through the space with you and may ask to see the electrical panel, water shut-off, and any natural gas or propane systems. They will also discuss your budget for the project to ensure it is adequate for the scope of work discussed.
3. Conceptual Design and Project Development
The design process begins once the Project Design and Development Agreement has been accepted. Brandywine Designs will work closely with you to design the new space you are dreaming about and assist you in making all final selections of fixtures, materials, plant materials, and finishes.
4. Construction Agreement and Pricing
Once the design and specifications are complete, Brandywine Designs will present you with a formal Construction Proposal. This proposal includes detailed specifications for the project from start to finish, including all finishes and fixtures chosen during design and development. It's a fixed-cost proposal that consists of the final pricing for your project, which will not change unless both parties countersign an acceptable change order.
5. Construction Phase
The construction phase starts with the Pre-Construction Conference approximately two weeks prior to commencement. You will meet with your dedicated Project Manager, and discuss any unique details of the project, work times, the projected schedule for the project, and the confirmed start date. Brandywine Designs will proceed with the actual construction with weekly progress check-ins. Construction concludes with a beautiful new space you will love coming home to.
6. Completion Conference
After completing everything, Brandywine Designs will meet with you once more to walk through the finished space, address any final concerns, and ask for your feedback.
