Freelance Landscape Planting Designer with 3D Visualization

Overview:

We are looking for a Landscape Planting Designer to develop a cohesive planting design and 3D visualization based on an existing landscape plan. The project is already in the construction phase, and all layout and hardscape elements are finalized.

The scope is focused on plant selection, placement, and visualization within defined planting areas only.

Scope of Work:

• Work from an existing layout (to be provided)
• Develop a cohesive planting design within designated areas
• Select appropriate plants suited for the tropical climate (Philippines)
• Arrange plants with proper layering (trees, shrubs, ground cover)
• Ensure the design is visually balanced, practical, and buildable
• No changes to layout, structures, or hardscape elements

Deliverables:

1. Planting Layout Plan (PDF)
2. Plant List / Legend (plant names, sizes if applicable, and quantities)
3. Editable 3D Model (REQUIRED – preferably SketchUp .SKP)
4. Rendered Images (3–5 views for client presentation)

File Requirements:

• All files must be fully editable
• 3D model must be organized (layers/groups for easy modification)
• We will retain full rights to review, edit, and reuse all submitted files

Revision Policy:

• Includes up to 2 rounds of revisions
• Feedback will be provided in a consolidated format

Requirements:

• Experience in landscape planting / softscape design
• Ability to create both planting layouts and 3D visualizations
• Familiarity with tropical plants is preferred
• Proficiency in SketchUp or similar tools
• Strong design sense (not just drafting or rendering)

Timeline:

• Initial submission: 3–5 days after receiving complete materials
• Revisions: 2–3 days per round

Budget:

• Fixed rate: ₱15,000 for the entire project

Important Notes:

• This is not a full landscape design project
• The layout is already finalized and under construction
• The task is to develop a thoughtful planting design and visualization within the existing plan
• Output must be suitable for both client presentation and actual execution
