Our Central Coast Services

Structural Steel Drafting & Detailing

We provide fabrication documentation tailored to:

  • Beams, columns, trusses, and bracing

  • Access structures: stairs, handrails, platforms, walkways

  • Mezzanines and structural extensions

  • Connection detailing and schedules

  • Miscellaneous and architectural steel

Key deliverables include:

  • Shop and fabrication drawings

  • General arrangement plans

  • Bolt, weld and cut-list schedules

  • DXF / CNC data outputs

  • Material take-offs and bill of materials

Our drafting is completed using industry-standard software such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD and Tekla-compatible workflows, ensuring compatibility with workshop and site teams.


3D Laser Scanning – Scan to Steel on the Central Coast

Hamilton By Design offers engineering-grade 3D laser scanning (LiDAR) services throughout the Central Coast. This service captures existing structures with precision and provides as-built data that feeds directly into your drafting and fabrication process.

Benefits of 3D scanning include:

  • Rapid capture of existing buildings and plant

  • Millimetre-accurate as-built point clouds

  • Scan-to-CAD or BIM modelling

  • Verification of tie-in points prior to fabrication

  • Reduction in site rework and redesign

  • Improved coordination with services and trades

Typical Central Coast applications include retrofit steelwork, warehouse upgrades, site expansions and tie-in detailing for mechanical and piping interfaces.


Our Scan-to-Fabrication Workflow

  1. On-site LiDAR capture of the structure

  2. Registration and cloud processing

  3. Modelling of steel elements in CAD

  4. Clash checking with existing assets

  5. Production of fabrication drawings and CNC outputs

  6. Optional site verification after installation

By delivering both scanning and drafting in-house, Hamilton By Design eliminates the uncertainty between survey and fabrication documentation—saving time and reducing costly revisions.
