Structural Steel Drafting & 3D Scanning – Brisbane
Hamilton By Design provides integrated structural steel drafting, detailing, and 3D laser scanning services across Brisbane and South-East Queensland. We connect the physical site with the fabrication workshop — turning real-world conditions into accurate, build-ready documentation.
Rather than relying on outdated drawings or manual measurements, our approach combines on-site LiDAR capture with experienced steel detailing, reducing risk, rework, and costly site modifications.
Our Brisbane Services
Structural Steel Drafting & Detailing
We deliver professional fabrication documentation for:
Beams, columns, trusses, and bracing
Stairs, handrails, platforms, and access systems
Mezzanines and warehouse extensions
Connection design coordination
Miscellaneous and architectural steel
Deliverables include:
Fabrication shop drawings
General arrangement drawings
Bolt and weld schedules

Using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Tekla-compatible workflows, our drawings are structured to suit Australian fabricators and site teams.
3D Laser Scanning – Scan to Steel
Hamilton By Design offers engineering-grade LiDAR scanning in Brisbane, giving clients a fast and reliable way to capture existing structures before design and fabrication begin.
Benefits of 3D scanning:
Capture existing buildings and plant with millimetre accuracy
Create as-built models for extensions and retrofits
Verify tie-in points before fabrication
Reduce clashes with mechanical and services
Minimise site rework and variations
Typical Brisbane Applications

Warehouse modifications and mezzanines
Commercial refurbishments in the CBD
Mining and materials handling facilities
Structural upgrades to stairs, platforms, and walkways
Our Scan-to-Fabrication Workflow
On-site LiDAR capture of the project area
