Once the initial concept and idea has been developed, we now need to ensure we get the materials and the quality of installation we want. As Hard landscaping is often at the back end of the project, it is the one area where the budget will be tight and often gets, so called, value engineered to reduce the overall cost and this is a real shame, as we referenced earlier, the building façade along with the hard landscaping is the shop window for your development, it is the kerb appeal and this is how we attract, keep and get repeat visitors. Depending on the type of scheme and location, thousands of people may see your shop window where only a few get to go behind the façade, so ensuring we have the necessary measures in place to dress the shop window is vitally important.

So, in this phase we get into the real nitty gritty and we can deploy our full range of technical back up. Specifying the materials correctly and effectively is paramount and here, we can provide full technical data for all materials, helping you to build a foolproof technical specification, including sustainability information if required and material manufacturing standards.

Here is an example pdfCoral EU.pdf

Sample panels for approval and onward benchmarking during the installation period can be arranged and supplied.

Full indemnified designs for our Cladit & Edgeit steel systems, including structural calculation sheets for checking and loadings for structures and pavements can be supplied. Full material schedules for all systems will be generated and detailed, quotes will be issued.

A timeline can be formulated to effectively manage the ordering process, allowing for the lead in periods for the various elements and, considering any site constraints/requirements to ensure everything is captured within the final package.
