The Unique Projects approach to any project is as unique as the landscapes we create.  Our process from the initial engagement through to the project’s completion highlights our commitment to detail, methodology, collaboration and delivering beyond scheme/brief expectation and all carried out with what we strive for, professionalism.

In this article we look into how we work from the initial engagement to the final project delivery, especially in our collaborative efforts with design teams.

Building Foundations On Trust & With Clarity

We see ourselves as a humble Westcountry-based company that works across the UK and further afield when required with a reputation for delivering schemes that many thought impossible.  We do not shy away from complex projects and take on some that one might expect a specialist civil engineering company to consider.  We are not a typical landscape construction company therefore and while much of what we do we cannot publicize, we will happily meet to show our portfolio and capabilities.

Typically our projects begin with an introduction based on our reputation and knowledge of our previous projects.  Whether it's Clients, Architects, Garden Designers, Landscape Architects, or Structural Engineers, we are introduced to projects because our attention to detail and innovative solutions are required.  We are very well versed in working alongside and collaborating with design teams and indeed one of our Directors has the additional advantage of having directed a studio of low-energy architects earlier in his career, so the language and processes are second nature to us as a firm.  In the initial phase, we set the tone for communication and understanding based on conventional industry discipline, laying the groundwork for a successful partnership.

“We have been working with Clients, Project Managers, Designers, Architects and Landscape Architects for 15 years to deliver exemplar schemes and often against what many thought were impossible criteria.”

Collaborating With Design Teams

We have consciously taken the decision not to design and instead see our role as one of working closely with designer teams to achieve positive project outcomes.  We bring their schemes to life, ensuring that every detail aligns with the project's aesthetic and the scheme intention.  Our expertise allows us to overcome any issues that may arise, backed by years of experience and our 100% successful track record for delivering past projects.  This expertise means that when design teams bring us on board, they know we share a common ethos and regimented approach, ensuring seamless integration into the existing project framework. We listen, we speak the same language, we understand and we work together.

Navigating The Project Lifecycle

From the initial brief to the final stages of completion, our approach is always a well-considered one.  We follow a structured approach that navigates the detailed planning and execution phases and that meets timescales no matter how challenging.  This process helps to maintain the project pace, by achieving project milestones and always ensures quality and detail throughout.

Cost Engineering & Managing Expectations

One of the key aspects of our involvement at an early stage is to ensure construction methods align with the client's budgets.  This strategic approach means cost engineering exercises are generally redundant as we preemptively manage costs by focussing on construction methods that fit the budget rather than stress it.

In this way, we ensure that client expectations are not just met but exceeded, without necessitating any compromise on quality, scope, or design integrity and perhaps more importantly the clients feel they have not had to accept a compromise to achieve their scheme.

Delivering Beyond Expectations

At Unique Projects, our ultimate goal is to deliver results that go beyond expectations.  Our commitment to excellence, combined with our rigorous approach, ensures that every project is a benchmark in quality and innovation.

Through disciplined coordination, unwavering dedication, and a deep understanding of our field, Unique Projects continues to be leaders in landscape construction and horticultural excellence.  Our collaborative partnership with design teams is not just about construction; it’s about creating legacies of that are sympathetic, aesthetic, exciting, and can stand the test of time.
