Introduction
During an early morning design consultation, William and Matt discuss various aspects of the property design, including access, water systems, structures, land use areas, and overall well-being and security for the family. The conversation delves into detailed plans for implementation and next steps.
Access and Water Systems
William emphasizes the importance of access points on the property, starting with the existing access road and potential access points between different land areas. The conversation then shifts to the water system, focusing on rainwater collection, pond location, and potential water sources for irrigation.

Implementation Plan
As the conversation progresses, Matt seeks advice on the next steps in the design process. William advises creating a phased implementation plan, focusing on key projects for each year and developing a 12-month plan. They discuss the importance of starting with core systems and expanding outward from Zone zero.
Conclusion
After a thorough discussion on property design and implementation, William and Matt finalize the consultation with plans for next steps. Matt is set to develop a detailed phased implementation plan, with a focus on key projects and logistics for the coming year.
