Frequently asked questions
DrivewayIQ is a driveway design and compliance support platform for residential construction. It helps generate driveway gradient profiles between the front boundary and garage level, assess transition and rate-of-change risks, test vehicle clearance, and produce professional documentation.
Residential builders, building designers, drafting companies, architects, civil designers, engineers, private and building certifiers, town planners, construction managers, site supervisors, estimators, developers, surveyors, and council assessment teams.
No. DrivewayIQ is a design support and documentation tool. It does not replace a qualified engineer, certifier, surveyor, designer, or project-specific professional advice. Outputs should always be reviewed by appropriately qualified professionals.
No. DrivewayIQ does not guarantee building approval, council approval, or certification. It is intended to support the design and review process, not to replace formal assessment against current legislation, planning requirements, and council standards.
DrivewayIQ can help present driveway levels, gradients, and transition information more clearly to support a certifier's review, but any certification decision remains the responsibility of the certifier based on project-specific information.
Yes. DXF and DWG export at 1:1, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100, 1:200 or 1:500, alongside SVG, PDF, PNG and JPG, so profiles can be brought into common CAD and drafting packages at the scale your sheet expects.
Yes, DXF export is available so driveway profiles can be imported directly into CAD software.
Yes. The DrivewayIQ Vehicle Check module runs a chosen vehicle over the finished profile using its real geometry — overhangs, ground clearance, and approach, departure and ramp-breakover angles — and marks where clearance becomes tight. It is part of the subscription.
Yes. DrivewayIQ is browser-based, so it runs on any modern browser on Mac, Windows, or Linux.
Yes. There is nothing to install for standard use — DrivewayIQ runs entirely in your browser.
Both plans include the whole product — the gradient zones and auto designer, compliance checks, vehicle clearance testing, saved jobs and export presets, and every export format at every scale — including anything added later. Individual is $349 a year, which works out at $29.08 a month, for one person. Team is $499 a year for up to five people, and is not on sale yet. Billing is yearly only. Prices are in Australian dollars. DrivewayIQ is not registered for GST, so the price shown is the total and no GST is added.
Yes. Cancel from Billing & invoices in your account menu, which opens the payment provider's own portal. Your subscription stays active until the end of the year you have paid for.
Yes. DrivewayIQ starts with a seven-day free trial with every feature available, and no card is required to begin.
Saved projects are stored against your account and are not visible to other customers. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for more detail on data handling.
Yes. You can save export presets — typefaces, lineweights, dimension styles and what is shown — and each saved job freezes the preset it was drawn with, so reopening an old project reproduces the same sheet.
DrivewayIQ can present council-specific guidance references, including Queensland Development Code guidance, but requirements vary by council and jurisdiction and should be independently confirmed for each project.
No tool can account for every site condition. Unusual or complex sites should always be reviewed by an appropriately qualified professional in addition to using DrivewayIQ.
Typically a boundary RL, garage or target RL, and driveway length are required as a minimum, with additional site levels improving accuracy where available.
