Ha, ha you're right Guy
Its not entirely a one way street re prep work...someone has to pay for it and often the prinicpal contractor...the developer (of some hue) won't commit to any payments until the DA is approved, consequently by the time they are ready to commit the window for prep work is well and truely passed.
Imaginative tree companies can factor this into the fee structure but they still have to be large enough to carry the cost till payments start coming in...no excuse I feel in this case since the client is prepared to chuck at least $120,000 at what is not best practice (again based soley on what I have been told) there obviously was and prob still is a significant group/committee driven to retain the trees and good on them, hope its for the right reasons, but they needed some better advice as always we miss out at the concept stage and come a poor second best after everyone else has fixed the physical parameters....yeah well the trees can fit around that right?
