Design Development

We turn the schematic direction into an engineered, costed preliminary design.

03Phase 03 of 7

Design development is where the engineering happens. We model the hydraulic network, project water requirements across the course, and produce a preliminary AutoCAD design paired with an opinion of probable cost.

This is the phase that gives owners the numbers they need to make decisions — before the full construction-document set is produced.

What this phase delivers

  • Hydraulic network modeling for pressure and flow
  • Water-requirement projections across the course
  • Preliminary AutoCAD design of the full system
  • Opinion of probable cost to support budgeting

Deliverables

  • Hydraulic network model by node and pipe section
  • ET-based water-requirement projections (crop coefficients & distribution uniformity)
  • Preliminary AutoCAD design at 1"=100' — 65' triangular spacing, 90%+ efficiency
  • Coverage plan matched to the architect's grassing plan
  • Detailed construction cost estimate

How we approach it

We model the hydraulic network to confirm the system will deliver the right pressure and flow everywhere it needs to, and project water requirements so the supply and pumping strategy holds up under real demand.

The preliminary AutoCAD design and cost estimate together give owners a clear, defensible basis for the go-ahead.

Who this is for

Projects that have completed schematic design and are ready to engineer and cost the system.
