Working with clients and the project team, we strive to design spaces which exceed goals, meet budget expectations, and elevate the project as a whole. With project end-goals in mind, Carlile Macy landscape architects begin all designs with an open yet informed creative process. Gathered information and client feedback are used to develop multiple, loose concepts that are later synthesized into a schematic design and then refined into a final plan through design development. This process allows for the design to grow and change, for innovation in the design and materials, and for accurate estimating.
Carlile Macy's leadership in the creation and modernization of public policy and design standards in project development has attracted clients that desire cutting-edge ideas on project renovation, new construction, and sustainable improvements. The high quality of our staff, supported by the best training and most up-to-date design techniques, provides clients with exceptional, award-winning project design. Improvement Plans are well conceived, clearly presented graphically, and cost effective, resulting in construction processes that move smoothly without significant change orders.
Once construction projects are ready to be build, our surveyors stake the property and control for improvements to facilitate actual construction. Our survey technicians provide office support for our survey field crews by calculating coordinates for project staking items and transferring the information from the desktop computer directly into handheld survey field calculators. Our surveyors help turn two-dimensional line work on improvement plan drawings into an exciting three-dimensional reality at the project site.
Carlile Macy landscape architects work with the consultant team and project stakeholders to identify opportunities and constraints within the context of the specific project site and the surrounding community and landscape. Project goals are established and maintained and program elements are arranged on the site to maximize resource efficiencies, utility of space, and positive social/community interaction. By developing meaningful connections and relationships between on- and off-site facilities, we generate designs that encourage quality experiences through aesthetics as well as usability.
