Preliminary Project Design
It includes the placement of permaculture design recommendations on land maps and the following studies:
The exact locations, floor areas, spatial concept designs/volumes of the structures to be placed on the land are clarified and recorded on maps.
Design of access, roads, parking, paths within the land
Earthworks:
Soil excavations/fillings before laying the building foundations
Excavations for masonry, retaining walls
Where/how to utilize the top living soil from excavation?
Water retention, Rain/Storm water management
Water tanks, water retention terraces/ditches, ponds, channels, pipes
landscape works
Where and what kind of landscaping work will be done,
For example, how many and what types of trees will be planted and at what spacing/frequency?
Cost tables of the above works, determination of the total cost
These works are carried out jointly by architects, civil engineers and landscape architects. For the preliminary project design, each of them transfers their own data into the design. As a result, valuable data/information is displayed both digitally and on printed sheets in order to continue detailed design.
What will be delivered to the customer as a result of the Preliminary Project Design:
Topographic, digital maps and 3D digital models of the land
Can be delivered in different formats for use in other software
Concept drawings of structures (views, volumetric design)
Things to do in landscaping
Budget for first jobs
At this point, the business owner has sufficient detailed information about whether to continue or not. If it is to be continued, the next step is to prepare detailed projects for implementation.
