Where margin leaks

Pergola Rework Costs Your Margin

A pergola goes up on a finished patio, before the owner. Each error means a second trip to site.

  • Field Fit Problems

    Where margin leaks
    Posts, beams and footings that miss site conditions clash with walls, slabs and drainage.
    What we fix
    Every member checked against the house, slab and site before release, so installs go fast.

  • Permit and Code Delays

    Where margin leaks
    Drawings that miss wind, snow or setback requirements stall permits and inspections.
    What we fix
    Drawings prepared to IBC, ASCE 7, NCC and AS/NZS 1170 before submittal.

  • Recut Profiles

    Where margin leaks
    Wrong lengths, holes or louver spacing send aluminum back to the shop.
    What we fix
    Every profile, cut length and fastener detailed for fabrication, so aluminum is cut once.

  • Callbacks and Warranty

    Where margin leaks
    Leaks, misaligned louvers and loose connections bring crews back at your cost.
    What we fix
    Drainage, louver motion and connections resolved in the model first.

What clients ask first

Metal Pergolas: Common Questions

Straight answers from our engineering team. If your question isn’t here, ask us directly.

Ask a senior engineer An engineer replies within one business day.
What do your metal pergola drawings include?

Fabrication and installation drawings for aluminum and steel pergolas: posts, beams, louvers, connections, footings and attachments, for single projects or full product ranges.

Which codes do you follow, and who is responsible for the design?

IBC and ASCE 7 for US projects; the NCC, AS/NZS 1170, AS 1664 and AS 4100 for Australian projects. Design responsibility stays with your engineer of record or the system engineer, who reviews and approves the drawings. Bimgraphix does not stamp drawings; we answer for every sheet matching your inputs, and any gap is raised as an RFI, never guessed.

How do you make sure pergolas fit and install fast?

Spans, post positions, footings and wall attachments are checked against the site or house conditions, and every connection is detailed for the installer. Each set is independently checked and senior-reviewed before release.

How are fees and schedules set, and can you handle large programs?

Fees and delivery dates are fixed in a written proposal from your scope, priced per model or per project, before any work starts. Large programs are released model by model across your range, with the team sized to your schedule. Revision rounds are agreed up front, and anything outside scope is quoted before we do it.

How do you protect our drawings, models and data?

We sign your NDA before any files are shared. Your product models and drawings remain your property, exchanged through your preferred platform or a secure link, and access is limited to the team on your project.
