Our Design Process

At McKinnon Associates, we follow a three-phase approach to ensure that every project reaches its full potential. Our process involves:

• Phase One - Conceptual Design: This phase begins with a thorough consultation with our clients to establish a list of program elements that meet their functional and aesthetic requirements. A site analysis is conducted, and base plans are produced. A preliminary design concept is developed, which responds to the client's program and site.
• Phase Two - Construction Drawings: In this phase, our team prepares detailed construction drawings, which include specifications for materials and precise details on how various materials will be integrated. We may involve external consultants, such as architects, engineers, and surveyors, to ensure that every aspect of the project is meticulously planned.
• Phase Three - Construction Implementation: Our team oversees the construction process, ensuring that every detail is executed with precision and attention to detail. Regular meetings are held with clients to review schedules and coordinate related work.

At McKinnon Associates, we pride ourselves on our commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and customer satisfaction. We strive to create breathtaking outdoor spaces that not only enhance the beauty of our clients' properties but also provide a sense of serenity and well-being.
