design

Exciting and innovative, yet implementable are a cornerstone of thinc design’s philosophy. Fully detailed, accurate and complete construction document packages are a must to ensure a project is constructed as intended, while being delivered on time and on budget. We work closely with all team members and disciplines to ensure every aspect of the design is properly coordinated and meet the most current landscape construction standards.

approvals

Whether it’s community buy-in, endorsement by council, site plan approval, a streetscape permit, or building permit, our goal is to help facilitate approvals by all regulating authorities. Clear, concise, accurate and technically sound drawings and reports are a key deliverable that thinc design provides to assist our clients in completing this important step.

contract docs

Collaboration with allied professionals including engineering, environmental and communication consultants is a key aspect of the design approach employed on all assignments to ensure all aspects of the project are considered.
