Riassunto

Achieve better execution with the documentation standards behind an industry-leading firm

Construction Documentation Standards and Best Practices for Landscape Architectural Design offers guidelines, methods, and techniques for creating more robust project documents. Developed and authored by one of the world's leading landscape architectural firms, this material has been field tested by Design Workshop's ten offices and 150 designers to ensure completeness, practicality, and effectiveness. The book provides an overview of the entire design and construction process in the context of actual documentation, with best practice standards for design document content, format, and graphics. Readers learn how to apply these practices to serve the specific needs of different projects, gaining a comprehensive understanding of how complete documentation better serves the project as a whole.

Good documentation leads to good execution, which leads to better performance from the perspectives of durability, safety, and user enjoyment. This book presents a set of standards that serve as a roadmap of the design process, helping designers provide the complete documentation that the most highly executed projects require.

• Discover how documentation ties into project performance
• Learn the best practices for documenting every stage of the process
• Study actual project documents serving various project needs
• Gain documentation insights from one of the world's top firms

Design Workshop has been an industry leader since 1969, with projects ranging from resorts, to wildlife refuges, to county master plans. The value of their insight is proven by the continued high performance of their projects across the U.S. and beyond, and this book contains the standards, techniques, and actual documentation behind this success. Better outcomes require better execution, which starts with the documentation standards presented inConstruction Documentation Standards and Best Practices for Landscape Architectural Design.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

SUPERB EXECUTION RELIES UPON RIGOROUS PROJECT DOCUMENTATION

A project will only be built as well as it is documented. This publication focuses on the key documentation needs of the landscape architectural design and construction documentation process. That includes both "design documentation" and "construction documentation" as well as all that which occurs in the transition from one phase to the other.

Documentation requirements include those components necessary to explore and define design intent, logic, physical proposals, and ultimately, the specific components included within construction and bid documents.

• Discover how proper documentation facilitates every stage of the design process from pre-planning to construction, and leads to a highly resolved built outcome. Understand the principles behind these documentation practices.
• Implement best practices specific to each documentation phase and drawing, from title block and cover sheet design to soil plans and plant protection.
• Organize keynoting systems, cross-referencing and interdisciplinary coordination amongst multiple consultants and vendors.
• Study sample project documents from a leading landscape architecture firm to better understand the elements and benefits of complete and well-coordinated project documentation.

These standards have been time-tested by over 150 designers at the industry leading landscape architecture firm Design Workshop, reflecting a range of project types, including parks, streetscapes, urban spaces and over-structure construction. This guide shares the methods behind the success, to facilitate exceptional built outcomes through principled documentation practices.
