Arrange the landscape scope

Choose and decide what are the plants

that will add into the landscape

PHASES IN LANDSCAPE

ARCHITECTURE

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

Start up with a design

consultation.

Plan an initial meeting

with the client.

Understand and formulate

a concept that meets the

client’s needs.

Obtain site plans and

survey plans from

architects and land

surveyors.

Landscape architects start

to prepare conceptual

design for the clients

after consulting them.

Sometimes, a Master plan

may be created and

needed if the site is too

large.

1. Site Analysis

2. Conceptual Plan

3. Section and Elevation Drawing

4. Rendering/ Perspective

A Landscape

architect needs

to prepare:

1. SITE ANALYSIS

To prepare Site Analysis, a Landscape Architect needs to complete:

Site survey

Vegetation survey

Soil survey

Environmental studies and reports

This stage involves:

Research

Analysis

Synthesis

2. CONCEPTUAL PLAN

A plan to show the design that

suites the site conditions and meet

the client’s requirements.

May consist of Softscape and

Hardscape elements.

Includes structures, pavements,

planting and other features as

needed.

Provides a plan, 3-D illustrations and

graphics to illustrate all the

elements proposed for the projects.

3. SECTIONS AND

ELEVATION

DRAWINGS

To provide sections and

elevation to show the

height, depth and

elevations of the design.

4. RENDERINGS

OR PERSPECTIVES

Either in Sketch or in

a 3-D Rendering such

as Sketchup and 3-D

studio max or manual

sketches.

Client gets to

visualized the realistic

look in the final

product.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

After client’s approval on

schematic design, develop

further on design.

Focus and pay more attention

into the construction details like

Measurements and materials.

Coordinate with the architects,

Civil and Structure, Mechanical

and Electrical Engineers and the

QS on the designs.

Landscape Architect needs

to prepare:

1. Hardscape2. Softscape/

Planting Plan

1. HARDSCAPE

They are consisted of scaled plans such as:

• Grading and drainage

• Irrigation

• Material & setting out plans

• Lightning (Lightning fixtures and locations of them)

• Signage & street furniture

• Shows dimensions and materials of the design.

• Describe the materials used in this design.

2. SOFTSCAPE/

PLANTING PLAN

Consist of scaled plans of

trees and shrubs.

Select and rearrange the

plants in the landscape.

Quantities of plant, type

of plants, specifications

of materials and soil

conditioning of the site.

CONSTRUCTION

To issue construction drawings to contractors to

construct on site.

To visit and inspect to ensure that contractor construct

according to the drawings.

CONSTRUCTION DRAWING

Consist of scaled

plans showing the

materials and

specifications for

both hardscapes and

softscapes.

POST-CONSTRUCTION

Contractor needs provide As-Built plans.

To ensure the plants survive by having a regular

scheduled maintenance program.

Program consist of watering, fertilising, pruning

frequencies and to replace dead plants as and

when it occurred.

As Built Plans

Record of all

changes made

during

construction.
