Site selection & feasibility studies
Prior to embarking on any development project certain key questions - who, what, when, where, why and how - need to be answered. At InSite we and our partners assist clients in answering these questions and ensuring that projects start on a firm footing, with a design and development strategy best suited to client, project, and prevailing conditions.

Vision & concept planning
Options abound, but what to build? Clarifying the vision then providing it additional focus during the concept planning stage will help ensure successful project outcomes in future stages line when changes are more difficult and costly to make. At InSite we understand the value of exploring options early and making informed decisions that can be successfully applied during successive design stages.

Master planning & urban design
Creating spaces that foster healthy social and ecologically friendly environments while meeting the client’s performance targets drives the master planning and urban design process. At InSite we look to create the most dynamic yet feasible master plans possible, uniquely responsive to a site’s opportunities and challenges.

Landscape architecture
Landscapes often set the aethetic tone for a development whilst creating seemless and functional access and circulation thorughout. InSite's experience across a range of landscape projects from parks and residential compounds, streetscapes and highways to regional sporting facilities, high end private villa gardens and hotels show our keen understanding of how landscape architecture can be employed to add value to any kind of development.

Public realm concept design
The image, comfort and usability of a city is, in part, a function of the quality of the public realm; people prefer places where they feel comfortable. At InSite we understand the role the public realm plays in integrating the disparate elements of the city, and we work hard to find the right combination of aesthetics, function, economics, and sustainability on each project we undertake.

Irrigation & water conservation
Intelligent irrigation systems are the key to establishing and sustaining beautiful planting schemes. InSite design tailored smart irrigation systems for all of our projects. We see water conservation as an integral part of irrigation design, from the evaluation of existing systems to new system design. We plan and design advanced irrigation systems can reduce water consumption by integration of intelligent methods. InSite offers Clients to have beautiful, livable landscapes without excess water use.

Design regulations and guidelines are a key mechanism for master developers to ensure their vision is maintained through a construction process undertaken by multiple parties. At InSite we work within the envelope of local governments regulations to provide additional specifications reflecting the unique vision and design intent of the client, striking a balance between flexibility and control in order to promote the best possible outcome for the project.

Achieving a strong return on investment lies at the heart of all commercial real estate development, while for the government sector the key drivers are often more diverse. What both have in common is the need to design within parameters, contain costs, and progress efficiently through various stages of design and development, all the while maintaining a sharp focus on achieving the ultimate vision for the project.

Only a high quality professional installation can fulfill the promise
of a great design. At InSite we have seasoned staff able to carry a project from design through installation on site. Our staff understand local conditions and construction techniques, and possess the skills needed to ensure the final product reflects the design intent. |
Signage, branding & wayfinding
From expressing the brand to helping people find their destination, users’ perceptions of a project can be greatly influenced by the success or failure of its signage and wayfinding installations. At InSite we recognize the importance of this design element through our in-house signage, wayfinding and graphics studio which specializes in providing fully integrated and coordinated signage and wayfinding design packages, guaranteed to enhance the user experience.

External lighting design
The external lighting of a landscape scheme can be funtional, creative or both. At InSite’s our lighting designers create exterior environments that enhance the human experience. They need to be aesthetically appealing and to provide appropriate environments for people of all ages. We create sustainable, elegant lighting solutions that protect the environment and our clients’ budgets.

BIM services
As the design and construction industries increasingly adopt BIM technology standards, so must the landscape architecture profession equally evolve. At InSite we are at the cutting edge of BIM for landscape design, allowing us to be both forward thinking in our design while at the same time adding value for our clients.
