Hamilton By Design provides high-accuracy 3D LiDAR laser scanning and drafting services for projects across Chatswood, the Lower North Shore and greater Sydney.
Whether you’re refurbishing an office floor, upgrading a plant room, planning a hotel fit-out or redeveloping an older building, we capture millimetre-accurate as-built data so your team can design with confidence and avoid costly rework on site.
Why 3D LiDAR Scanning for Sydney Projects?
Many Sydney buildings and industrial sites have been modified over decades. Original drawings are incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong. Tape measures and rough sketches aren’t enough when you’re trying to:
- Fit new services into congested ceiling voids
- Install new equipment into tight plant rooms
- Convert offices, retail or hotels to new uses
- Upgrade mechanical, electrical or hydraulic systems
Our 3D LiDAR scanning captures millions of data points to create an accurate digital twin of your site. This becomes the single source of truth for architects, engineers, builders and fabricators.
Who We Work With in Chatswood & Greater Sydney
We support a wide range of clients, including:
- Architects & building designers – renovation, fit-out and adaptive-reuse projects
- Property developers & commercial building owners – feasibility, refurbishment and change-of-use
- Builders, shop-fitters & interior fit-out contractors – offices, retail, hospitality and medical suites
- Industrial & manufacturing facilities – plant rooms, processing areas, warehouses and workshops
- Hotel & hospitality operators – refurbishing guest rooms, lobbies and back-of-house areas
- Consulting engineers, BIM and drafting teams – needing reliable as-built data to design from
- Strata managers & property managers – accurate base drawings for long-term building management
From Chatswood, North Sydney and Macquarie Park through to the Sydney CBD, Parramatta and wider metropolitan region, we bring the same engineering-grade accuracy to every project.
