This project is under development.
You will develop a complete plan for a landscape development site that you have access to. You should have a real client, even if it is for a friend (not yourself) because negotiating with a client is an important part of your learning. The site area for this job should be reasonably large - a whole suburban block with front and rear yard (or larger). You will need to generate a site invenory, including slope analysis, check the soil and climatic conditions of the site, produce a 2-D design with a suitable planting list (making sure that you design with sustainable principles in mind). Your design must contain some form of urban wetland with underground water storage tanks, suitable planting such that little supplementary watering is required once established, hardscape dimensions, details (such as a boardwalk) over wetland, costing materials specification, and several presentation sheets. You will treat the project as though you are going to manage the entire project from start to finish and develop costing using spreadsheets, take into account tax rates (such as GST or VAT) leasing and hiring of equipment and manage Occupational Health and Safety regulations etc.
