Questions

Find answers to common questions about the True Scale Homes experience.

How accurate is the layout?

Our robotic line-marking technology prints your floor plan to within approximately 2cm of the original design, ensuring the layout matches your architectural drawings precisely.

What plans do I need?

We recommend providing your draft floor plans before engineering and structural plans are finalised. This allows you to walk the layout and make any adjustments early, so your final structural plans can incorporate those changes.

How long does it take?

From receiving your plans to completing the walkthrough, the process typically takes one to two days, depending on your location and site conditions.

What condition does my block need to be in?

The flatter the area the better. We can print on all surfaces including dirt, gravel, or grass. If your block is grassed, we recommend mowing it one to two days before our arrival.

Can my builder attend?

Yes. We encourage your builder or designer to attend where possible so any layout changes can be discussed and incorporated before final plans are prepared.

How long do we get on-site to inspect the layout?

Once your layout has been marked, you can walk through each space, take measurements and capture photos. How long the markings remain visible will depend on the surface and weather conditions.

Can we modify walls or doors in real time during the session?

Modifications are not made to the architectural design during the walkthrough. Note any potential changes and discuss them with your builder or designer. If your plans are formally updated, contact us to discuss remarking the revised layout.

Can you project structural columns, plumbing, or electrical points?

Yes. We can mark features like plumbing fixtures, kitchen layouts, electrical points and structural elements if they're included in your plans.
