Project management...

If You don't have time or just don't want to deal with interviewing and hiring a Landscape Contractor directly, GH garden designs can handle this process for you

GHgd will interview up to three(3) Landscape Contractors (either recommend by us from those we have worked with in the past and/or those selected by you from friends/family recommendations)

After the interviews have been completed and we have reviewed/compared all bid proposal/contracts submitted, GHgd will prepare a summary of the final bid proposals along with recommendations as to who we feel is the Landscape Contractor best suited for Your Gardens Design Installation

After you have had a chance to review the final bid proposal summary and discussed it with GHgd, we will set up a meeting with you and the Landscape Contractor selected to make sure you are compatible

Although price is a major consideration in selecting Your Landscape Contractor... It Is Even More Important that you feel comfortable and confident that you can work with the recommended Landscape Contractor... The Landscape Contractor Selection Assistance process can take up to Three Weeks

Once the contractor has been selected GHgd will visit the site on a regular basis throughout the installation process; handle day to day issues that arise; and Schedule Weekly Progress Meetings, with You and Your Contractor, during your gardens landscape design installation

Fees for the services as outlines above will be billed at the Current GHgd Hourly Consultation Services Rate and in most cases will be capped by a Fixed Fee (Not to exceed) Compensation Agreement... See Manage Project Services DESIGN FEES

Optional on-site consultations...

GHgd is always available (via email/phone) during your landscape design plans installation to answer You or Your Landscape Contractors Questions... No Fees are Charged for this service

In most instances The Complete, Accurate, and Easy to Read set of Conceptual Design Installation Plans/Construction Document Plans can be used by Your Landscape Contractor to Install Your New Landscape; without the necessity of GHgd visiting Your project site...

That said, Special Circumstances (Unforeseen site condition problems, changes made to the design on-site by the Client, etc...) may require that GHgd visit the site during your landscape design plans installation

In these situations GHgd will be available for site visits upon notice from You or Your Landscape Contractor
