Central Coast Structural Steel Drafting & 3D Scanning

Structural Steel Drafting & 3D Scanning – Central Coast NSW

Hamilton By Design delivers industry-grade structural steel drafting, detailing, and 3D laser scanning services across the Central Coast. We turn real-world conditions into accurate, fabrication-ready drawings for fabricators, engineers, builders and asset owners.

By pairing on-site 3D scanning (LiDAR) with detailed CAD modelling, we help reduce project risk, minimise site variations, and deliver buildable documentation that supports efficient fabrication and installation.

  • Stairs, handrails, platforms & access structures

  • Connection detailing and schedules

  • Miscellaneous and architectural steel

Deliverables include:

  • Shop drawings & fabrication plans

  • General arrangement drawings

  • Bolt, weld & cut-list schedules

Drawings are delivered in SolidWorks, AutoCAD and Tekla-compatible formats, ensuring seamless integration with your workshop and fabrication processes.


3D Laser Scanning – Scan To Steel

Hamilton By Design provides engineering-grade 3D laser scanning (LiDAR) across the Central Coast, capturing existing structures with millimetre accuracy for retrofit, extension, and brownfield work.

Why choose 3D scanning?

  • Rapid capture of existing buildings and plant

  • Millimetre-accurate point cloud data

  • Scan-to-CAD / BIM deliverables

  • Accurate tie-in verification before fabrication

  • Reduces onsite rework and redesign

  • Better coordination with services and trades

Our Scan-to-Fabrication Process

  1. On-site LiDAR capture of existing conditions

  2. Point cloud registration and processing

  3. CAD modelling of structural elements

  4. Clash checking with existing assets and services

  5. Production of fabrication drawings & CNC data

  6. Optional site verification after installation

By handling both scanning and drafting in-house, Hamilton By Design closes the gap between survey data and shop drawings — reducing revisions and cost.
