  • >> project size and scope;
  • >> complexity;
  • >> research required;
  • >> specialist involvement e.g. engineering;
  • >> irrigation;
  • >> lighting etc;
  • >> drawing details e.g. elevations, 3D rendering etc;
  • >> plant and material specifications;
  • >> extent of interactions with council; and
  • >> whether it is hand drawn / drawn on PC.
