It’s how we operate
Greenwood Associates brings together a dynamic and highly skilled team of qualified landscape architects that is led by Mitch Burn and overseen by our two directors. Mitch has been with Greenwood Associates since 2013 and plays a crucial role in the day-to-day operations of the company. He has a diverse range of skills and offers his valuable knowledge and experience to our projects and staff both in the design and technical facets of the profession. His strengths include construction knowledge, streamlining documentation, production and design processes. Mitch is supported by Chris Campbell, a highly experienced senior landscape architect who has spent many years working in management internationally in the middle east. Chris also heads up our LVA department and mentors our graduate and intermediate staff.
Supporting Mitch and Chris is another management tier, ensuring all projects have a clear pathway where plans are re-checked before being internally approved and released to designated timelines.
The unique and varied backgrounds of our team members, allows us to assign specialized skills to the diverse range of projects we undertake. We have high skill levels in CAD programs and 3D modelling, design and academic report writing for LVA assessments. Our team is constantly expanding their knowledge and improving abilities with all facets of our service range. We have the ability to assign team members who are fluent in Chinese and Korean languages to projects for communication purposes at the request of our clients. Our team culture allows us to take on complex and large scape developments with absolute confidence.
