Built for Shed Builders
Shed projects carry more compliance complexity than most customers expect. Setback requirements, height restrictions, coverage limits, wind and soil conditions, and council-specific overlays all determine what can be built and where, and the rules vary significantly from one council area to the next. uDrew gives shed builders and installers instant access to the site intelligence needed to confirm viability, design compliantly, and submit with confidence from the first enquiry.
Our Products
uDrew gives shed builders the ability to assess site feasibility, design compliant layouts, and present verified options to clients, all from one connected platform.
Enter the property address and uDrew OnSite surfaces exactly what applies to that site: setbacks from boundaries and structures, coverage allowances, height limits, wind ratings, soil classifications, and overlay conditions. Only uDrew instantly calculates the site engineering and design criteria that normally take days to commission, geotechnical conditions, wind ratings, and corrosion categories, removing the need to commission a separate engineering report before quoting.
uDrew Studio takes verified site intelligence and turns it into a working design environment. Adjust dimensions and positioning interactively while live validation ensures every change stays within the rules that apply to the specific property. When the design is finalised, the council-ready plans are already prepared and ready for submission, with no separate compliance review required.
Shed customers often struggle to picture how a structure will fit on their property from a brochure or a standard quote. uDrew Connect solves that by placing the shed design directly onto their block, with accurate dimensions, real setbacks, and a compliant layout they can see and understand. Connect Display makes this available at your expo stand or showroom. Connect Live puts it on your website, capturing leads with design preferences and site context already attached. Customers who can see their shed on their property are easier to close, and more confident in the decision.
Hear It From the Trades
The builders and retailers who use uDrew aren’t just working more efficiently, they’re winning projects they would otherwise have lost. uDrew puts the kind of planning intelligence that was previously only available to large developers with dedicated resources into the hands of every builder, installer, and retailer who wants to run a sharper, faster, more professional business.
Results that deliver
Shed builders who use uDrew don’t just get approvals faster, they arrive at every quote with site data and compliance intelligence that gives them a clear edge over competitors still relying on manual checks.
Compliance is validated throughout the design process rather than reviewed at lodgement. Shed builders using uDrew report significantly fewer resubmissions, with council-ready documentation prepared automatically when the design is finalised.
Setbacks, coverage limits, height restrictions, wind ratings, soil classifications, and access conditions are all surfaced instantly before any design decision is made. Quotes reflect the reality of the site from the first conversation, with no variations required once the real constraints come to light.
The same workflow and compliance framework applies regardless of shed size or project type, from residential backyard sheds and garages through to larger commercial and industrial installations. Consistent results every time.
uDrew users report saving 2 to 4 hours per project on feasibility research, desktop study time, and manual compliance checking. Add the site visits that never need to happen because constraints are confirmed remotely, and the time saving compounds quickly across a busy project pipeline.
FAQs
Everything you need to know about site planning, compliance, and how uDrew fits into a shed building business.
Yes. Every design built in uDrew Studio is validated against current planning rules as you work, and Studio includes all the design tools you need to produce professional, scaled plans without drafting experience. When the layout is finalised, the documentation exports correctly formatted for councils and third parties, with no professional redrawing required.
Yes. uDrew OnSite automatically reports the constraints most likely to affect shed installation: boundary setbacks, setbacks from existing structures, easements, zoning overlays, height restrictions, and wind and soil classifications, using live data for the specific property. Those constraints carry directly into uDrew Studio, so as you adjust the shed design, you're alerted the moment something intersects with a rule that matters.
By confirming site constraints and compliance information upfront, uDrew catches the issues that normally trigger resubmissions before the design even begins. For shed builders, that means quotes you can trust, timelines you can hit, and fewer callbacks from customers wondering why their project has stalled at council. Plans submitted to council are accurate the first time, which means fewer revisions, fewer follow-up questions, and installations that stay on schedule.
Most planning tools handle one part of the workflow. uDrew connects site feasibility, compliant design, and customer-facing presentation in a single platform. But that's only part of the story. uDrew instantly calculates the site engineering and design criteria that normally take days and thousands of dollars to commission, geotechnical conditions, site classifications, wind ratings, corrosion categories, AHD ground levels, and utility depths. No waiting on engineers. No assumptions about ground conditions. No quotes that blow out when the concrete slab is poured. Everything you need to quote, design, and submit, the moment you enter an address.
uDrew Connect lets your sales team show customers a compliant shed design placed on their actual property, in real time, whether that's at an expo, in your showroom, or through your website. Connect Live captures every website interaction as a qualified lead with site data already attached. Connect Display turns expo stands and showroom demos into closing conversations, with customers able to see exactly how their shed will sit on their block before they commit. When a customer can visualise their shed on their property, the decision to buy becomes easy.
