There are several benefits of 'design' to landowners that have a larger project including;

1. R E A L I S I N G   P O T E N T I A L

The initial Masterplan of an estate or farm acts as a document for ongoing discussion and planning. Through looking at the site or estate as a whole, issues and opportunities are raised that are otherwise overlooked when specialist contractors are employed for individual and isolated projects

Through design I can in a very practical way combine understanding of woodland management, farming practices and conservation etc with the more creative elements of the design - looking  at the links between existing and new woodland, new lakes or restoration of ponds etc  and the connection of the house and gardens to the wider landscape

2. P R O J E C T   M A N A G E M E N T

I can bring together the best craftsman and specialists to realise the design and supervise and coordinate the project as a whole

3. L O N G   T E R M   P L A N N I N G   &   B U D G E T S

One of the other key advantages of master plans for larger projects and estates is that the design provides a document that allows projects to be planned with contractors in an efficient and 'joined up' way whilst the design can be used to prepare budgets for an appropriate period
