Unsuitable Software

Generic design software isn’t built for living, ecological landscapes.

Paper sketches often miss critical elevation data and real site dimensions.

The Cost: Design momentum stalls before your layout takes shape.

Scattered Site Data

Piecing together contours and aerial maps across separate sources drains focus.

Manual setup burns hours before design work even begins.

The Cost: Days lost to data gathering before drawing a single element.

Unclear Site Plans

Confusing visual plans cause delays, miscommunication, and costly design errors.

Static paper maps quickly become obsolete as site conditions and goals evolve.

The Cost: Placement errors, wasted plants, and physical rework on-site.

Discover Why Students Love Permiehub

Jumpstart Your Base Map

Where available, import aerial imagery, property boundaries, and contours, or upload your own image and scale it by providing a single dimension.

Scale Your Sketching

Easily print scale-accurate hardcopies of your design to eliminate manual scaling guesswork. Use a precise map for all on-site sketching and observations.

Beyond the Course

Permiehub is built to support your entire journey. It integrates initial design and observation to implementation, management, and professional practice.

See What Makes Design Easy

  • Design With Real Dimensions.

  • Since every element, distance, and area within Permiehub is mapped to real-world dimensions, you'll never have to worry about manually figuring out scale or converting measurements. Focus on your vision and design instead.

  • Work From Any Device, Anywhere.

  • Whether you're designing in the classroom on a tablet, refining plans on your laptop at home, or recording site data instantly on your phone while on site, Permiehub keeps your project moving forward no matter the location.
  • Print with Precision.

  • Print your plans with confidence. Easily produce scale-accurate hardcopies of your entire design or specific sections, complete with labels and a legend. This gives you a precise map for on-site field sketching and recording observations, ensuring your plans are both professional and accurate.
  • Help Centre: Supporting Every Step.

  • Our comprehensive Help Centre provides step-by-step instructions on core tasks, such as creating a base map, adding a sun sector, defining zones, and planning food forests. This ensures you can quickly troubleshoot technical steps, preserving your valuable time to focus entirely on building your vision.

How Permiehub Works

1. Create Base Map

Pull topographical data automatically into your canvas and trace features with tailored tools in minutes.

2. Layer Your Design

Conduct a site analysis, design zones and their relationships, and lay out detailed ecological plans.

3. Share Your Vision

Share clean, easily modifiable digital layouts or download high-resolution plans anytime.

Simplify Your Mapping & Design Process

  • Designing vibrant green spaces should be an inspiring process, not a battle with complex software. Permiehub centralises aerial imagery, a built-in contour map generator, and intuitive drag-and-drop tools into one clean workspace. Where automatic map coverage is limited, you can easily upload your own drone imagery or reference maps to keep planning. Whether mapping a home garden, a hobby farm, or larger acreage, gather your site data quickly, create your layout with confidence, and inspire others with your vision today.
