Finished iGarden Vision garden: precision porcelain paving on the iFrame steel system

Our Process: Surveying

Precision Starts Here

Every successful project begins with accuracy.

Before we design or manufacture anything, we carry out a detailed survey of your space. Without precise heights and levels, it is impossible to create steel frameworks that fit perfectly within your garden. Guesswork simply is not an option.

01

It Starts With Your Vision

Before surveying begins, we take time to understand what you want to achieve. Through photos, initial measurements, and early discussions, we assess feasibility and explore how your project can be brought to life.

The survey then becomes the confirmation, giving both you and us the confidence that everything will work exactly as planned.

02

Design Led by Tile Layout

Everything we create is built around the tile layout and chosen finished surface. These decisions shape the entire design from the outset, influencing levels, structure, drainage, and positioning.

While surrounding elements like downpipes and drainage are carefully considered, the tile layout remains the foundation for everything we do.

Measured With Precision Technology

Using advanced 3D scanning, we create an accurate digital model of your space. This allows our design team to develop your project off-site with complete confidence.

Your steel framework is designed around:

  • Exact heights and levels
  • Complex layouts and transitions
  • Precise tile positioning

The Finish

Any Shape. Any Complexity.

Curves, Angles,
No Problem.

Because the iFrame is CNC-cut directly from your 3D survey data, it can follow any shape your garden demands. Curved walls, irregular boundaries, complex transitions: the frame fits perfectly, every time.

The cutaway shows the steel hugging the exact curve of a stone wall. The tiles above it show the seamless result. No trimming. No compromise.

Built Off-Site.
Perfected Before Installation.

All planning and manufacturing happen behind the scenes before anything arrives on site. By the time installation begins, every detail has already been considered, delivering a seamless, precision-built result.

1

Faster Installation

Everything is ready before we arrive. No waiting around, no delays on site.

2

Minimal Disruption

No wet trades, no machinery, no concrete. Your garden is disrupted for days, not weeks.

3

Exceptional Accuracy

CNC-cut to millimetre tolerance from the 3D survey data. Every component fits perfectly.
