The design process for LPS is an exercise that considers many variables, not just a simple ‘make-it-fit’ philosophy.   The thoughtful consideration of the current buyer’s needs as well as the projected needs of future generations leads LPS to create spaces that are not only attractive and impressionable but long lasting as well.  When considering purchase, the buyer takes a moment to ask himself, “Could I live or work here?  Will my children be happy here?  What about my grandchildren?”  The team at LPS asks themselves these questions everyday and has heard some of their most successful clients do so as well.  When response to current financial needs is combined with research and study for future demand, place making can be highly successful and sought after.

 

A Unique Full Service Company

Typical land planning/engineering companies consider full service to mean providing surveying, geotechnical, environmental, traffic analysis, etc. While theses are all parts of large projects, LPS has grown to understand a clients need for "Full Service."

Our definition of full service is an understanding of the entire picture, not just topography and landscape plans, but construction, cost, and the end user. Land Planning Solutions comprehensive services can be broken down into three major categories: Conceptual Design, Site Specific Design, and Support Graphics 

During the conceptual design stages, we consider all elements from placement and orientation of pedestrian amenities to environmental impacts, landscaping, planting design, and community interaction. LPS focuses on the details from the outset of a project. We work closely with our clients and the community to guarantee a conceptual design that respects all the parties involved as well as the environment. As designs move forward, we follow through from concept to construction.

Once a design proceeds to the submittal stages, LPS has become known for their ability to work with municipalities to gain approvals on Rezonings, Conditional Use Permites, and other pre-construction applications. LPS then proceeds with quality engineering and quick, efficient submittals. This can include:

  • Landscape Architetural services including:
- Detailed pedestrian ameneties
- Hardscape design
- Planting Plans
- Way finding design and Pedestrian Signage Design
  • Civil Engineering services including:
- Stormwater Management Facilities
- Offsite Road and Drainage Improvements
- Oversight of Wetland Permitting
- Oversight of Boundary & Topographic Survey
- Site Construction Plans
  • Construction Administration Including:
- Cost Estimates
- Site Visits
- Inspections
- As Built Drawings

 

With each stage, from plan review to landscape designs to construction administration, we create a cohesive package for the project that can be used for marketing purposes or as high quality graphical representations, but most importantly, that saves time and cost along the way. With the final project beginning to take shape, LPS maintains our connections with our clients to further enhance the final built product, either to match budget constraints or to respond to the current economic climates.
