Design assistance:
I offer you a simple preliminary design service
to make your waterfeature look best.
A preliminary site assessment / design recommendations may or may not seem necessary to you.
If you are in doubt, however, consider this case history:
A customer enlisted my help in construction, but not design.
When I arrived on site I found the customer wanted a waterfall and stream going in the opposite direction from the slope, that is running uphill, and had begun construction. It was possible to re-level the terrain, but it took much time and extra cost, for non-commensurate rewards.
Paragraphs two and three of the following reference support the benefit of a preliminary design stage:
The Toprock Design Report takes between two and three hours, and thoroughly explores your water-feature options, at the end of which time you will receive a document:
the contents of which have been discussed with you on site, reaching consensus and approval. Sketches and costs are included.
The cost of the Report is $185, a little more if your site is far distant from Camberwell.
If a contract for construction eventuates, I deduct $100 of the Report cost from the contract price.
