Why You Should Outsource Shadow Diagrams to Us

Architects and designers often choose to outsource shadow diagrams because the impact on neighbouring properties can be a sensitive issue. 

In fact, shadowing is a top reason why developments get delayed in the approval process or even refused by councils, especially if it negatively affects adjoining properties. 

While most design firms can create these diagrams themselves, many are now turning to us for their submissions. Using a third party like us adds an independent perspective, which can help smooth out the approval process. 

We've completed over 1,000 shadow diagrams across Australia, so let us handle your next project and make the approval process easier for you.
