Hey there,

I got an international project for some concept design work and I am unsure how I should charge them as there isnt a set standard in the industry, I am fairly new to this. How would you charge as a landscape designer for a design concept project? Scope of work is decided, and we have decided to work on the project as per phases. Recommend me how much to charge for - Site analysis + Research, Conceptual Design Layout (Phase 1) and then Masterplan (Phase 2)

Please be open and honest, as people in our industry tend to ignore conversation surrounding fees.

Hello,

I am a professional with 5+ years of experience with an accredited degree in MLA from USA, recently moved to Canada, in Toronto. I am really frustrated with the job search, it has been 5+ months and apart from a couple of coffee chats, and some initial 2-3 interviews, I haven't been able to Crack the job market here. What's the secret to getting into the landscape design industry here? Is it just the current job market or what is it?

The job postings are so limited and response is almost negligible.

Anyone working as a freelance designer? Any tips?!!
