3D Scans & Concept Plans
If you’ve ever tried to picture a deck or pergola from a quick sketch and a few measurements, you’ll know the feeling. It’s a lot of “I think it’ll work” and not enough “I know it’ll work”.
Our 3D Scans & Concept Plans remove the guesswork. We capture your space in detail, map the proposed build to your real site, and turn it into a clear plan with a mood board, delivered in days rather than weeks.

WHAT YOU GET
You’ll get a complete visual and planning pack to help you make confident decisions:
• A detailed 3D scan of the proposed area
• A scaled concept plan designed around your actual site
• A mood board showing finishes, textures and colour direction
• A clear layout you can review properly before we break ground
Turnaround is typically 7 to 10 days.
WHY IT’S A GAME CHANGER
Outdoor builds can look simple on paper, but the site is where reality lives. Levels, fall, access, existing surfaces, garden edges, and drainage all influence the final scope.
A 3D scan helps us understand the job properly from the start, which means:
• Fewer assumptions
• Less “just in case” allowances in your quote
• Better planning around excavation and removal
• A smoother build because we’re not discovering surprises halfway through
In plain English: when we can see the site properly, we can price the job properly.
WHO THIS IS FOR
3D Scans & Concept Plans are ideal if:
• You’re a visual person and want to see it before committing
• Your site has slopes, tight access, or awkward shapes
• You’re planning a pool zone, multi-level deck, stairs, or a pergola that needs to sit just right
• You want a clearer scope so you can make decisions faster
If your project is straightforward, we’ll tell you. If it’s complex, this is the smart move.
HOW IT WORKS
The whole process is completed within days, not weeks. In fact, typical timing is 7-10 days. Here’s what it looks like:
- Enquire and we’ll book a site inspection
- Once on-site, we’ll check everything out, then make a call on whether your project would do better with a 3D Scan & Concept Plan or not
- We capture the space and create the concept plan and mood board
- You receive your pack within 7 to 10 days, then we finalise scope and quoting from there

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a 3D scan to get a quote?
Not always. Some jobs are simple enough. But if the site is complex or you want to reduce uncertainty, it can make a big difference to scope clarity and quote accuracy.
How long does it take?
Usually 7 to 10 days from site capture to delivery.
Does this replace council approvals or surveys?
No. It’s a concept and planning tool, not a boundary survey or engineering set. If your project needs approvals or certification, we’ll guide you on what’s required.
Can I use this to help make design decisions?
That’s the point. The scan and mood board make it easier to choose layout, finishes, and direction with confidence.
How much does a 3D Scan & Concept Plan cost?
Our 3D Scan & Concept Plans start at $900 + GST, with final pricing depending on the size and complexity of the area to be captured. For many projects, this first step can actually reduce overall costs by minimising excavation allowances and removing guesswork from the quote.
We’ll always let you know during your site inspection whether it’s worth doing for your specific job.
What areas do you service?
We primarily service the Sutherland Shire and St George, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs and Lower North Shore.
