How Landscape Architecture works in SkillScorer
Score
Each designer in a studio is scored on the Landscape Architecture skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank designers, compare two side by side, or compare your studios against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Landscape Architecture skills need attention. Reports also follow each project architect's studio.
Landscape Architecture scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Landscape Architecture scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Landscape Architecture scorecard covers 12 skills: Site and Ecological Analysis, Concept and Master Planning, Planting Design, Hard Landscape Detailing, Stormwater and Water-Sensitive Design, Graphic Communication, Regulatory Approvals, Cost Estimating, Sustainability and Climate Resilience, Community Consultation, Contract Documentation and Construction Observation. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are designers scored in Landscape Architecture?
Every designer is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one studio and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Landscape Architecture?
Landscape Architecture starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Graduate, Architectural Assistant, Architect, Senior Architect, Associate and Director. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Landscape Architecture skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In architecture & design the app talks about designers, studios and project architects, and you can change any of those words too.
