Info to gather
The first step is to collect the information that I need to work with. I’ll need the following from you:
LOCATION:
Share the location on google maps, or send me the address or coordinates.
photos from the ground:
Take a lot of pictures!
Try to get 6 or 8 pictures of each building from different angles. Try to get the whole building in the picture. If you miss 1 or 2 angles, that’s ok, just get the best you can.
Take several pictures of the road or proposed roads that might be on the place. And especially take a picture of where you think the loading dock might be.
Take pictures of any feed bunks, water points, power poles, cement pads, wells, scales, and anything like that that can’t easily be moved. We’ll need to put those items in the model to work around.
Drone photos:
If it’s possible, take a drone shot of the site you want to build on.
The most important photo is from straight overhead. If you sight is large, get one from high altitude, and then fly a grid at lower altitude to get closer pictures I can put together in the computer.
Some pictures at an angle, and from different directions are also useful.
Videos are not needed.
Drone pictures are very useful for for projects on existing locations. They are not needed for “greenfield” projects
PLANS:
And finally, make a sketch of what you have in mind. I’ve found that most people have a kernel of an idea in their mind and they need my help to develop it. If you’re rebuilding an old set of corrals, lets try to keep what worked good about them, and if you’re starting from a clean slate, lets take a look at ones you have seen that you liked. Every project and every ranch is different and I don’t pretend to have all the answers to what the best corral system is. I’m here to help you thru the process.
The drawings don’t have to be to scale, but the more info you can include, the better it will be. Take a picture of the drawings from straight overhead.
SERVICE
After the project is complete, I’ll be here to answer any questions that you may have about the design. I can make extra detail drawings if needed and will support you any way I can to ensure you get the best possible corral system.
The payment is done in 3 parts:
1. Down payment of 60%
2. Payment of 30% when the 3d design part of the project is finalized.
3. Final payment of 10% when the final drawings are finished.
I can send an invoice that you pay by card. If you wish to mail a check, that is fine but will take a little longer to get to me.
Clients outside the USA can pay by SWIFT transfer.
