An international landscape architect works in a different country to design residential and commercial outdoor space. Your responsibilities as a landscape architect working abroad include preparing site plans, cost estimates, and specifications for a variety of spaces, such as a park or a garden, coordinating the arrangement of proposed and existing structures and features for a project, and selecting the right materials to use in your designs. Other duties of an overseas landscape architect include inspecting landscape work after completion to ensure it matches the original plans, using software to create graphic representations of plans, and examining environmental reports on energy usage, drainage, and other land conditions.
