Advanced SketchUp and Layout

For designers ready to operate professionally

Create visuals that win clients

This course is built for designers who want to move beyond concept visuals and start producing technical drawing packs that contractors can actually build from. It focuses on developing a professional workflow using SketchUp and LayOut, helping you translate your design ideas into clear, accurate, and construction-ready documentation.

This course is designed for garden designers who want to elevate their presentation skills, landscape professionals aiming to secure higher-value projects, design students building a competitive portfolio, and anyone ready to move from 2D plans into impactful 3D visualisation.

Clients don’t always connect with technical drawings, but they immediately understand strong visuals. By improving how you present your ideas in this course, you will reduce back-and-forth revisions, build client confidence, and ultimately win more projects.
