Working Drawings & Bidding

Working drawings are a very important part of communicating with the owner, contractor and subcontractors. Okerstrom Lang Landscape Architects can produce detailed specifications for all project components such as grading, planting, lighting and construction details.

We assist the client in making the decisions regarding material selection and finishes, plant selection, project schedules and establishing the project budget.

Bids are obtained from appropriate contractors based on the plans.

Another method is to produce drawings that show the "design intent" of a project with less detail. When construction proceeds OL Ltd works closely with the contractors on the construction details on site.

All projects have a detailed scope of work issued with any drawings. The scope includes a bid form for contractors to submit their bid or prices. When bidding occurs a bid sheet is issued to our client for review and approval. The lowest qualified bidder is always recommended.

We look forward to hearing from you about any projects concerning design, permitting, master planning or construction management.
