Where sourcing starts
Procurement and sourcing begins with a schedule, and a schedule is easier to answer when it is written against groups Ornatec already holds references for. The three habit ranges cover most of it: trees, palms and shrubs, with hedging and screening for boundary work and indoor plants for interior landscaping where the brief moves inside.
Horticultural consultancy is usually the part that saves the most money, because it happens before the schedule is fixed. Testing a species against the destination in the destination matcher, or checking whether a specified binomial exists in the range at all through the species index, resolves most substitution problems before they become programme problems. Where a specified species genuinely cannot be sourced in time, species substitution sets out how design intent is protected.
