3D Modelling Structural Drafting



 Hamilton By Design


Based in Sydney and on the NSW Central Coast, Hamilton By design is a
Parametric 3D Modelling Drafting / Drawing Office which provides steel fabrication & erection drawings to the Structural steelwork industry.


Using the latest versions of 3D Parametric Modelling tools our structural steel detailing Software supports our drawing office has the capability to produce a wide range of projects from small platforms and stairs to large multi-story office blocks, from which we can also provide a variety of material lists and electronic data suitable for related CNC machinery.





We have a team of highly trained professionals with extensive experience in a wide range of structural steel projects. We can liaise with Consulting Engineers, Architects and other trades to ensure that project program can be maintained.

Hamilton By Design was formed in 2006 to take advantage of the increased demand for sub-contract drafting services within the structural steelwork industry.


Our team of draughtspersons each have over 10 years experience in operating, we have completed all type of structural steel projects from Factories, Warehouses, Steel Making, Mining, Schools and Office blocks through to secondary steelwork and staircases, which have ranged from 5 - 4000 tonnes.

All our detailers come from a background of working for steel fabricators and understand the need for cost effective connection details, not only to cut down fabrication costs but also to make sure that details are easy to erect and do not increase erection times.

Structural Drafting Services

The team at Hamilton By design offer the following structural drafting services

Existing Conditions Documentation
Documenting the existing conditions of a structure is the precursor to design in a building project, and gathering accurate information is critical.  Understanding the importance of precise building information, we carefully take physical field measurements which are then computerized as CAD drawings for our clients’ sebsequent design usability.  Existing conditions documentation includes, but is not limited to; floor plans, ceiling plans, elevations, and sections.

As-Built Drawings
Following the completion of construction we verify, field measure, and record the as-built conditions as computerized CAD drawings.  The as-built drawings are compiled to reflect the current building conditions for any changes made to the floor plans, ceiling plans, elevations, sections, and details which deviate from the original contract and/or buildings department approved documents.

Paper to CAD Conversion
Using your hard copy blueprints, sketches, and/or hand drafted drawings; we convert the paper documents into digitized CAD drawings, incorporating your standard layering conventions, line weights, dimensions, and title blocks if needed.  The paper to CAD conversion is manually generated in order to produce a computerized document that is dimensionally accurate to the original.

Design Consulting
Working directly with our clients, we assist in the schematic design, design development, and planning of new construction or renovation projects in accordance with local building and municipal codes.  The design is finalized as a computerized CAD document that can be revised and updated as needed by the client.
