3D models
You see your model
We design the structure in a 3D model first, using Building Information Modelling (BIM). You get to see how it works with your design before anything is built.
What that means for your project
Most structural engineering is still issued as flat drawings. You're left to picture how the beams, posts and footings fit around your rooms, windows and services.
We build the structure as a 3D model instead. Walk around it, look inside it, and see exactly where each member goes. When everyone is looking at the same model, questions get answered sooner and surprises on site are rarer.
How it works
Your plans
Send us your architectural drawings, sketches or photos of the existing building.
We build the model
We model the structure inside your design: footings, floors, walls, beams and roof.
You review it
We share views of the model, or walk you through it, so you and your team can raise questions.
Drawings and computations
Construction drawings and computations are produced from the same model, ready for your building surveyor and builder.
Who it helps
Home owners
See what you are building before you sign up for it. No need to read engineering drawings.
Architects and designers
Check that the structure respects the design intent, and resolve clashes during design, not during the build.
Builders
Understand the structure and its sequence before you price and order materials.
Software includes Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Advanced Steel and Civil 3D.
