3D Scanning in Sydney

 Structural Drafting Completed on the NSW Central Coast

Sydney projects move fast. Whether it’s a façade upgrade, structural strengthening, or new plant installed into an existing building, designers are constantly fighting one problem — knowing what is really on site.

Traditional site measurement is slow, disruptive, and often incomplete. Modern 3D laser scanning in Sydney captures the entire structure in millimetre detail, and that data can be turned directly into professional structural drafting on the NSW Central Coast by the Hamilton By Design team.

Capture in Sydney – Drafting on the Central Coast

Our workflow is simple and effective:

  1. 3D scan the Sydney site – building, structure, or plant

  2. Process the data into an accurate point cloud

  3. Structural drafting completed on the Central Coast

  4. Issue drawings for engineers, fabricators, and builders

This approach removes re-measurement, reduces site visits, and allows the drafting work to be completed in a focused engineering environment on the Coast while the project continues in Sydney.


Why 3D Scanning Changes Structural Drafting

For structural projects such as:

  • steel strengthening to existing buildings

  • new mezzanines and platforms

  • façade replacements

  • plant upgrades and tie-ins

  • heritage structures

a point cloud becomes the single source of truth. Every beam, slab, column and service is captured exactly as it exists.

This means our Central Coast drafting team can:

  • model new steel to suit real conditions

  • detail connections without guesswork

  • check clashes before fabrication

  • produce accurate shop drawings

  • support engineers with as-built geometry

The need for a traditional “drafting checker” is greatly reduced because the scan itself validates the geometry.


Deliverables for Sydney Projects

From a single scan we can provide:

  • Structural GA drawings

  • Steel fabrication drawings

  • 2D plans, sections and elevations

  • Revit / Tekla models

  • DXF, STEP or Parasolid files

  • Clash and constructability reviews

Engineers receive information they can design from; fabricators receive drawings they can build from.


Ideal Projects

3D scanning and Central Coast drafting is suited to:

  • Commercial building upgrades in Sydney CBD

  • Industrial sites in Western Sydney

  • Warehouse modifications

  • Aged structures with poor drawings

  • Fast-track fit-outs

  • Insurance and remediation works


Local Drafting – Sydney Accuracy

Having the drafting completed on the NSW Central Coast gives you:

  • direct access to experienced structural detailers

  • fast turnaround without Sydney overheads

  • close collaboration with your engineer

  • practical fabrication knowledge

We capture in Sydney, but the thinking, modelling and detailing happens here on the Coast.


Talk to Our Team

If you have a Sydney project that needs accurate as-built information and professional structural drafting, we can help from scan to finished drawings.
