definitely. I actually hate the word now that I’ve heard it so much and I’m not sure that most people can even design a sense of place. I guess thats getting into another topic altogether.

I thought it was great – especially Dominique’s experience with SSI for Lenexa City Center project. Several of the pre-requisites were un-achievable on that one. Those points were very worthy, highlighted the critical importance of proper site selction and deemed certainly worth keeping central in the SSI focus, but totally screwd the pooch (so to…[Read more]

Good news. It just looks like CLARB is terrible at writing e-mails, including major typos like misspelling their web address. They issued a new e-mail clarifying their errors. I would still follow the good advice to type or search out the web address rather than click a link received in an e-mail.

Roland Beinert replied to the topic bicycle superhighways in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 16 years, 8 months ago

Andrew, you bring up a good point about it being hard to retrofit built up areas for bike infrastructure. Then again, plenty of cities have added extra lanes for cars at a huge expense, and bike infrastructure is much more compact and probably much less expensive.
I think this article from treehugger illustrates the compactness of bike…[Read more]
Chad Weinand posted an update in the group Golf Course Architecture & Design 16 years, 8 months ago

No problem, Radu! Glad to help.

As for the conceptual design, it should be a general routing plan with generic bunkering and golf course character. You would want to establish number of tees, size of tees and greens, etc. so that you could generate an estimate. Other things, like drainage, earthwork, etc. would have to come from past experience…[Read more]

Ryan and Chad thnx a lot great tips, its very usefull for me to learn from someone who has experiance. In Romania the golf buissnes is at the start there is not yet a high quality golf course in Romania nad playing golf its very hard here, there are no profesionals in my country on golf course design and construction, so there is space for this…[Read more]
Chad Weinand posted an update in the group Golf Course Architecture & Design 16 years, 8 months ago

Radu, Ryan’s comments are on point. Of course, not everyone can do a conceptual design for the project before being awarded the project. We never did this when I was in the golf business. We always got paid for conceptual design, which is where we started with our fee, then if we determined the project was feasible, we rolled into CD’s and project…[Read more]

Hi Matei–
All golf course design projects are unique from one to another and each has their own variables and client needs / desires. So there is no formula or guide that I’m aware of that you can work through and come up with a design fee proposal.

My experience has been that the design team will typically receive 5-7% of the construction costs…[Read more]

Hi Logan,

Sound like you have the right idea, especially with industry-related volunteering. Since you mentioned LinkedIn, I took a moment to look up your profile and would recommend a couple of things. First, join the ASLA LinkedIn Group – it’s the official group of the national organization and it has over 2,000 members and a good volume of…[Read more]
