Six disciplines cross your site. None of them wait.
Master planning, hardscape, planting, and irrigation modelled and coordinated against civil, drainage, and building services before site starts. One team across soft and hard landscape, terrain, planting and external works tied into the federated model from concept.
Every discipline on your site. One coordination team
Production capacity without hiring
Hardscape modellers, planting coordinators, and irrigation designers from one studio. No hiring. Capacity matched to your site programme.
Same standard, every engineer
ACA quality gates on every planting plan, grading model, and irrigation layout. ERP-tracked. Same standard across every site.
Single point of accountability
One team across hardscape, planting, irrigation, and civil coordination. No gaps between landscape architect and civil engineer. One responsibility matrix.
Landscaping in production
Six views from live landscape packages, masterplan models, hardscape sections, planting schedules, irrigation layouts, 4D phasing, terrain coordination.

Masterplan concept through detailed landscape design. One discipline
Three phases. Click any to expand the key processes, deliverables, and BIM requirements at that stage.
From site-wide master planning and phasing strategies to fully detailed soft and hard landscape models. We develop landscape BIM that coordinates terrain, planting, street furniture, and external works with civil, architectural, and infrastructure disciplines from concept onwards.
Key Processes
Master plan modelling and terrain
Site-wide massing, plot phasing, road hierarchy, and public realm zones developed from design brief with topographic survey imported and proposed grading surfaces modelled with cut/fill analysis, so every landscape element is spatially coordinated.
Hard and soft landscape design
Paving materials, kerb types, step profiles, ramp gradients, planting beds, tree pits, root barriers, and irrigation routes modelled with species schedules, soil volumes, and DDA compliance verified per zone.
Multi-discipline coordination
Landscape surfaces and furniture shared as linked references with civil drainage, architectural ground floor, and MEP external services at each design gate.
Deliverables
- Master plan massing & phasing models
- Site-wide terrain & grading models
- Hard landscape layout & paving plans
- Soft landscape & planting zone models
- Boundary treatment & level changes
- Water features & irrigation layouts
BIM Requirements
Master Plan & Terrain
Plot areas, phasing dependencies, and surfaces modelled to 50mm vertical accuracy. Cut/fill volumes calculated per stage gate.
Planting Specification
Zones tagged with species mix, planting density, soil specification, root barriers, and maintenance regimes per spec.
DDA Compliance
Routes verified for gradient compliance (max 1:20), tactile paving, step-free access, and rest area spacing per BS 8300.
Construction-ready landscape models with setting-out data, material schedules, and installation sequencing, enabling accurate hard and soft landscape delivery coordinated with civil infrastructure and building completion phasing.
Key Processes
LOD 400 model development and setting-out
Paving units, kerb profiles, edging details, sub-base build-ups, and tree pit structural details modelled with joint patterns, drainage channel positions, and root barrier systems resolved, so contractors have fabrication-ready models.
Material scheduling and phasing
All hard landscape features dimensioned from survey control with level datums, fall directions, and top-of-paving levels coordinated against building FFL and drainage, soft landscape works sequenced against building completion with protection measures for early-planted areas.
Installation sequencing and adoption prep
Landscape works phased against road adoption and utility connection programme, with material quantities automatically extracted per zone for procurement packages.
Deliverables
- Construction-issue landscape model (LOD 400)
- Hard landscape setting-out plans
- Paving layout & pattern details
- Tree pit & planting bed construction details
- Soft landscape installation schedules
- Landscape phasing & protection plans
BIM Requirements
Setout & Materials
Hard features set out to +/-10mm. Quantities extracted: paving areas, kerb lengths, topsoil volumes, plantings per zone.
Seasonal Coordination
Planting windows identified per species. Bare root, container, and semi-mature seasons coordinated with construction programme.
Adoption Standards
Landscape elements designed to local authority standards. Street trees, highway planting, furniture, and equipment per adoption agreement.
As-built landscape model verified against installed conditions, populated with maintenance schedules, establishment periods, and asset data for estate management and public realm adoption.
Key Processes
As-built verification and maintenance scheduling
Landscape model updated from contractor records, planting certificates, and as-built survey to reflect installed paving, levels, furniture positions, and planted species, with mowing regimes, pruning cycles, and irrigation schedules embedded per zone.
Establishment monitoring and adoption prep
Defects liability and establishment period requirements documented with inspection dates, replacement thresholds, and sign-off criteria per planting zone, public realm elements documented per adopting authority requirements.
Asset tagging and handover
All street furniture, play equipment, external lighting, and irrigation components tagged with manufacturer, installation date, warranty expiry, and replacement specification for estate management use.
Deliverables
- Verified as-built landscape model (LOD 500)
- Landscape maintenance schedule matrix
- Planting establishment monitoring log
- Irrigation system O&M documentation
- Public realm adoption documentation
- Street furniture asset register
BIM Requirements
Establishment & Maintenance
Establishment period, inspection frequency, and replacement thresholds documented. Maintenance regime tagged with access route and party.
Asset Register
Street furniture, equipment, and lighting tagged with manufacturer, installation date, warranty expiry, and replacement spec.
Handover Format
Revit / Civil 3D + IFC + maintenance manual + planting schedule + adoption pack per employer asset requirements.
Validate planting and hardscape before procurement
Hardscape and planting phased against site construction. Quantities extracted for accurate ordering. Plant survival rates confirmed for climate. Irrigation demand validated. Avoids planting failures and cost overruns.
4D Phasing
Hardscape and planting phased with site construction. Sequence validated before mobilisation. Prevents planting loss during building phase.
5D Quantities
Paver quantities, mulch volumes, plant counts, and irrigation extracted from the model. Accurate procurement. Budget locked before ordering.
Sustainability Analysis
Irrigation demand against water budget. Plant survival rates for your climate zone. No guessing on species selection or maintenance requirements.
