Completed outdoor environment by The QLD Group

A process built for certainty,
not surprises.

Every extraordinary outdoor space begins with a clear view of the site. From the $300 + GST Landscape Inspection to in-house design, fixed pricing, construction and handover, one QLD Group team carries the project all the way through.

01 | Landscape Inspection

Landscape Inspection

On your property · $300 + GST · Required before design or costing

Every QLD Group project begins with a 60-minute Landscape Inspection. A senior member of our team walks the property with you, assesses the existing conditions and tests the brief against the site. This is a paid professional assessment, not a sales visit, and it is required before design or costing begins.

02 | Design Pathway

In-house Design & Documentation

Confirmed after the Landscape Inspection

After the inspection, we confirm the right design pathway and its fee. Design stays inside QLD Group. Sanctum by QLD is our in-house design studio, not a partner or a separate company. One team, one licence, one contract carries the project from design through construction.

Pathway A

From $2,500 + GST

You already hold a full set of construction drawings from a licensed designer or architect.

  • In-house review against the site
  • Buildability & material review
  • Scope prepared for fixed pricing
  • 3D renders optional extra

Pathway B

From $4,500 + GST

You need QLD Group to develop the design and documentation in-house.

  • Concept & spatial planning by Sanctum by QLD
  • Materials, levels, drainage & services
  • Full documentation for costing
  • 3D renders optional extra
  • Final fee confirmed after the inspection
All external consultant fees, including engineering, geotechnical reporting, council applications, surveying, hydraulic reports, are passed on at cost. These are separate from our design and construction fees, and are not marked up. Where known in advance, we'll advise you before engaging any consultant.

03 | Scope Review

Scope Locked Before Pricing

Design and construction reviewed together

The people responsible for construction review the design before the price is prepared. Materials, levels, drainage, access, engineering and approvals are resolved together, so nobody inherits a drawing they cannot build and no responsibility is lost in a handover.

04 | Fixed-price Proposal

Presentation & Fixed Price

A complete decision, not a ballpark figure

When the documentation and scope are complete, we present the design, material selections, construction programme and fixed-price proposal together. You can decide whether to proceed with the full picture in front of you.

05 | One Contract

Construction

The same team delivers the build

When you proceed, you sign one construction contract with QLD Group. A dedicated Construction Manager becomes your single point of contact on site, with progress updates at the intervals agreed with you and payments tied to verified stages of work.

06 | Completion

Handover & Aftercare

Finished properly and supported beyond handover

At practical completion, we walk the project with you, document anything requiring attention and resolve it before the build is closed out. You receive a formal handover, the applicable defects and warranty information, and guidance for the first seasons of your new outdoor environment.

We are selective aboutwho we build for.

Not because we're exclusive for its own sake, but because the quality of our work depends on the quality of the relationship. When we take on a project, we commit fully. This process exists to make sure that commitment is right for both of us before a construction contract is signed.

Designed for Legacy. Built to Never Leave.
