Experience
We have over 30 years experience in all aspects of commercial and domestic landscape architecture with thousands of projects of all sizes in Australia and overseas.
Prior to A Total Concept, John Storch, our director worked ‘on tools’ as a contractor. This experience gave an invaluable understanding of how things go together in construction and the cost ramifications of design. – a very important attribute in the commercial sector!
Our Approach
Our approach is to listen to you, our clients, about what is wanted and provide designs and services to suit the brief, the unique site and budget.
We are always happy to tailor the extent of our services to suit you, our client.
We provide a very broad range of services to our many new and long-term clients.
Our clients extend from budget developers, architects, owners, and builders who require a very simplistic service with affordable solutions to gain Building Approval through to clients who have large, complex projects requiring fully detailed construction design and documentation then contract administration.
