Initial consultation

A meeting is scheduled between our team and the potential clients on site. The visit allows for in-depth discussions about what you want to achieve in your space, as well as a chance for the team to analyse the project overall goals and constraints. This meeting is crucial to develop a good understanding of the scope of works that you want help with. The measure of the clients involvement in the project is discussed.

We explain Down2earth Creations services, what aspects we handle in-house and what part of the project will be outsourced.    

The site is measured and annualized to determine the soil type and condition, sufficient drainage, access points, hidden pipes and cables, unwanted vegetation and structure removal,  etc. 

Projects based outside Gauteng area inquiries will take place electronically from this stage with site photos and architectural plans shared before a meeting is confirmed. A fee proposal tailored to your job, and outlining the scope of works, will be sent for your consideration.
