How do we like to work
We consider cost estimating to be a valuable service and integral part of the project design and development process and devote substantial time and energy to create reliable budgets during the planning and development of a project.
Our Estimating and Budget planning process:
- If we decide that Bio Friendly Gardens is an appropriate fit for your project, we will provide you with a preliminary estimate based on initial discussions and different material choices, as well as an estimated time line to complete a project in the given amount of space.
- You have the option of a conceptual design plan or detailed design plan (when building permits are necessary) depending on scale of project; or no plan at all, if you feel confident you can work in an interactive, natural, and artistic way.
