uDrew

Thinking about building? The most expensive mistake happens before anyone picks up a tool.

It is buying a block, or paying for a design, without knowing what the land will actually support. Setbacks, overlays, soil, slope, flood or bushfire ratings. Find one of those late and you are redrawing plans and pushing dates out.

Our complete planning guide takes you through it step by step. How approvals work and why some go through in weeks while others take months, project homes versus custom versus kit, what it costs, who you need on the team, and what happens at each stage of the build.

Worth a read before you commit to anything.

Planning your 2027 expo stand?

The busiest stands are the ones where people can have a go. Type in an address, see a pool on your own block, and the conversation stops being about a brochure and starts being about your backyard.

Connect Display is what makes that happen, and it's available for 2027 stands now.

Quote with confidence, not guesswork.

Nobody enjoys the phone call where the price has to go up. A setback, an easement, access that will not take the machine, and suddenly the number you gave is not the number any more.

Check what the site can take before the quote goes out, and it holds.

Australiasian National Gold. Innovative Product of the Year.

uDrew Connect Live has taken out the top national award at the SPASA Australia and SPASA New Zealand Awards of Excellence 2026.

Connect Live goes on a builder's website. A customer types in their address, sees a pool on their own block, and gets a feel for the finished thing before anyone picks up the phone. The builder gets an enquiry with the site detail already in it.

That is a competitive edge, and the trades using it are already ahead.

Every region has its own rulebook.

uDrew was built here by trades who knew the pain of slow approvals, so what you hand over is right for the site, and right for the assessor, first time.

The hidden costs of manual site plans.

A site plan drawn by hand rarely costs what the invoice says.

There is the hour spent redrawing it after a setback was measured off the wrong boundary. The week lost when council sends it back. The job that went cold while the customer waited for something to look at.

Our guide adds up where that time and margin actually goes, and what changes when the same drawing comes back in minutes instead of days.

Still reflecting on a big week at SPLASHANZ

Our stand was full from the moment the doors opened, and the conversations were the highlight. Builders, retailers and designers pulled up a chair, put their own sites on the screen, and worked through them with our team one on one.

Thank you to everyone who came and said hello, and to the SPASA Australia crew for a cracking show.

What a way to close out the awards season.

uDrew has picked up two national Golds at the Australia Australasian Awards of Excellence 2026, for Innovative Product of the Year with uDrew Connect Live, and for Best Professional Service Business, plus six more finalist placings on top of that.

It brings our 2026 season to 27 awards across Australia and New Zealand, which still feels a bit surreal.

The builders, retailers, landscapers and designers using uDrew on their projects are the reason any of this happened. Your ideas shape what we build next. Thank you, sincerely.

Lovely feedback from Adam Gallagher at Compass Pools.

"We've been really impressed with the lead generation this year, considerably up on previous years. It's given our sales team a steady stream of warm enquiries to follow up."

Warm enquiries, not cold names. That is the difference when a customer has already seen the pool on their own property before they get in touch.
