Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a design-only package cost in Vancouver?
Most design-only projects fall between $1,500 and $8,000 CAD depending on scope. A small backyard refresh or single-bed planting plan sits at the lower end, while full-lot concepts with grading notes and multiple revisions land higher. We quote a fixed fee after the initial site walk so there are no surprises.
What's the typical timeline from first meeting to final plan?
Expect roughly 3-5 weeks for a standard design package. That covers the site measure, concept sketches, one round of revisions, and the final scaled plan. If you're planning to pull a permit or bid the job out to contractors afterward, budget another 4-8 weeks on top of that.
Will the plan account for Vancouver's rainfall and clay soils?
Yes. Every design we produce factors in local drainage, freeze-thaw cycles, and the heavy clay common across East Van, Burnaby, and the North Shore. We note where you'll need amended soil, French drains, or permeable materials so the plan actually works on your lot.
What do I actually receive at the end?
You get a scaled site plan (usually 1/8" = 1'), a plant and material schedule, reference photos, and notes on phasing or construction sequence. It's enough detail to DIY, hand to a landscaper for bidding, or use as a starting point if you want us to build it later.
Should I get design-only or a full design-build package?
Design-only makes sense if you want to DIY, bid the work out competitively, or phase the build over several years. If you know you want one crew handling everything and a single point of accountability, design-build is usually faster and avoids translation errors between designer and installer.
