​

Lets get your project off on the right foot. Planning is essential to any project, and realising your vision, incorporating legal requirements, we can direct you through the preliminary stages. We typically produce sketches, boards, 3D visualisations and work with you and/or your consultant team, which is an ongoing process until we arrive at a successful solution. This could include:

• Rendered concept sketches;

• 3D visualisation/sections;

• Schedule/budgetplanning;

• Public consultation boards

​

​

We provide consultancy services throughout planning, presentations to council, and meeting representation. We provide comprehensive Landscape Planning drawings, specifications, and supporting documents for most external realm planning submissions. Example documents could be:

• Design and Access Statements;

• Presentation material;

• Technical Planning Drawings; such as Landscape masterplan, planting plants, sections/3D visualisations, hardscape details;

• LVIA;

• Management Plans.

• Bonding estimates.

Depending on how your project is procured, we offer full Tender consultation or standard pricing documents. Typically this could be: 

​

Tenders & Pricing

• Tender set-up, invitation to tender etc, tender reports;

• Pre-construction estimates;

• Tender Drawings (more detailed than planning that can be accurately priced and built from)

• Schedule of quantities or Bill of quantities (usually prepared by a QS);

• Specification.

Standard Pricing documents.

Whether you are a D&B contractor, we can undertake pricing documents that suit your project.

Require an Arborist survey/drawing or are you an Arborist looking for technical arborist drawings? If so, we can help.

​

We work with registered Arborists, who undertake site assessments, tree surveys, and tree works in accordance with BS 5837.

​

Creative Exterior Solutions can manage this process and produce comprehensive drawings illustrating: 

​

• Root protection areas;

• Tree numbers;

• Tree protective fencing.

• Recommendations on the implications on design and detailing as a result tree

At Creative exterior Solutions Ltd we believe maintenance can be just as important as the design. Often the original intent gets mis-understood by a maintenance team, box cutting shrubs, poorly pruning trees, or the sand completely pressure washed from paver joints leaving them unsafe on unstable. However, we can help. Some suggested services we can offer:

​

• Preparing a maintenance contract,and administering the maintenance team.

• Management/maintenance report & schedule.

• Plant inventory and replacement report.

• Review and advice on damaged hardscape areas, landscape structures, or waterfeatures (in coordination with a competent sub-consultant)
