Implement the Plan

Abstract

A few additional things need to be done before actually starting work on the land. This includes a review of any regulatory requirements that, if ignored, could result in costly delays and penalties. You also need to develop a phasing plan for the work, then reconsider and refine your budget with estimates for each phase (see fig. 7.1). A phasing plan divides the project into subprojects that efficiently structure the implementation. Finalizing plans may also involve procuring plants and seed or other supplies and equipment. These should be grouped to receive the best prices, and according to when they are needed in the project. Once this is done, you can prepare your implementation schedule for the first five years, during what we have called the remedial restoration phase.
