1 PERMACULTURE & REGENERATIVE WHOLE SYSTEMS: ECOLOGICAL DESIGN SERVICES & CONSULTATIONS We create resilient drought tolerant edible landscapes Urban Master Plans The Foundation Master Plan This design provides a solid starting point with clear basic ideas to nudge you in the right direction or tackle the details yourself. Includes : A vision statement which encapsulates your dreams and aspirations for your garden. A list of networks, organizations and relevant businesses to source information, skills and resources from. For your garden : A concept sketch outlining the placement of particular crops, water systems, access paths, social spaces and other relevant elements which may include animals and composting. This option doesn t include specific plant or detailed material lists or provide a scaled plan of your property. If you have existing plans we will work from these, otherwise we will create a not to scale plan to work from. What s the process? 1. We provide you with a briefing questionnaire which you can complete prior to meeting. 2. We come to you for a 1 hour meeting and information gathering discussion. 3. We assess the house and garden sites independently and compile information. 4. We create concept design sketches for both the house and garden. Hours up to 8 Price : $500 1

2 The Intermediate Master Plan Provides you with more detailed information to get you started in identifying the potential in your property. Get real exited! For your garden A full colour, hand rendered, to scale design with the basic layout of what goes where, i.e. orchard, vegetable garden, chook yard, native vegetation, social space etc, Some detail outlining plant species and suggestions for most appropriate materials (for infrastructure and landscaping supplies) required for the design. A report (up to 5 pages) explaining the different elements in the design and key site considerations. One follow up phone conversation if needed. For your house A briefing report identifying areas that require improvement or change to your existing house or a full brief for a new home. The brief also identifies council and authority requirements. A basic measure of existing buildings or, if existing drawings are available these can inform the concept design. 2

3 A full colour, hand rendered, concept plan for your house drawing upon passive solar design and permaculture principles. This concept plan includes relationships between spaces, functions and connections to the garden. It gives clear indications of potential room layouts and how the rooms and spaces can be used to their fullest. This package also includes an elevation view of the concept plan. This concept plan is generally to scale. If you have existing plans we are more than happy to work from these. Includes follow up phone conversation about the concept design. This option doesn t include construction types, materials or indications of the value of works. *The hrs reflected here can include garden and house maps or just garden maps/house maps depending of what s needed. Hours: 15/ up to 25 Price: $1200/$2000 The Ultimate Master Plan Get all the detailed documents to convey the integrated concepts of your property in a holistic way. The work done in this package sets clients up for a successful and smooth process of creating drawings and documents for council approvals, obtaining builder and landscaping quotes or gives you everything you need to implement the design yourself. For your garden: We prepare a full set of site plans that are coloured, to scale and accurately detail the placement of the different design elements. What we deliver generally includes: A site analysis diagram, showing slope, winter and summer sun angles, prevailing winds and other relevant elements. A detailed, coloured hand drawn design diagram. A separate detailed water and irrigation plan. A design report* (20 + pages) including: Site analysis, Plant lists, A timeline mapping out a staged implementation, An indicative budget, and Other relevant information. 3

4 For your house A detailed briefing report identifying: Areas that require improvement or change in your existing home or a full brief for a new home. Council and authority requirements. Outline of the process required to get your required approvals from council, additional consultant reports the project constructed. A measure up of existing buildings or, if existing drawings are available these can inform the concept design. A full colour, hand rendered, sketch design for your house drawing upon passive solar design and permaculture principles. This concept plan includes: Relationships between spaces, functions and connections to the garden. Clear indication of potential room and space design and layout, kitchen and bathroom layouts. Indication of systems and services that would be suitable for your home, i.e. options for supplementary heating and hot water. Includes elevations and sections to convey the concept of the building. Includes options for a staged implementation of the design ideas to manage budgets. This concept plan is generally to scale. If you have existing plans we are more than happy to work from these. Please note: For both the house and garden this package does not include drawings or documents for approvals, material selection or include any costing of value of works. We are more than happy to provide a fee proposal for further services to complete required documentation and drawings to obtain council approvals and builder quotes as part of this package. * The design report is a manual tailored specifically to the permaculture based transformation of your property. We are also happy to answer questions and talk you through the implementation of the design over an agreed period of time. This option does not include implementation/construction of the design.
