Mechanical & Structural Drafting Services

Precision Drafting Solutions by Hamilton By Design

At Hamilton By Design, we specialise in mechanical drafting, structural drafting, and detail drafting services that bridge the gap between engineers, fabricators, and project managers. Based in Australia, our drafting team delivers technically accurate, standards-compliant drawings that support every stage of project delivery — from concept to fabrication and construction.

Whether you’re designing a complex mechanical assembly, detailing steel structures, or scanning existing assets with 3-D LiDAR scanning, our drafting solutions turn engineering intent into build-ready clarity.


Why Choose Hamilton By Design for Drafting?

Accurate drafting is critical to reducing errors, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards, and improving project efficiency. Our drafting services help you:

Illustrated infographic titled “Hamilton By Design Provides Drafting for Structural Mechanical Engineering.” At the centre, an engineer works at dual monitors creating structural and mechanical drawings, surrounded by elements such as conveyors, industrial structures, bolts, weldments, and fabrication diagrams. Around the illustration are benefits and capabilities including safety, accuracy, efficiency, compliance, accuracy and precision, structural and mechanical integration, standards and codes, practical fabrication and assembly, communication and collaboration, materials and manufacturing knowledge, adaptability, spatial awareness, clarity for fabricators, reduced downtime, and cost savings. The design emphasises Hamilton By Design’s comprehensive engineering drafting expertise.
  • Produce fabrication-ready drawings that meet AS 1100, AS 4100, and AS 4041 standards
  • Improve communication between design, engineering, and fabrication teams
  • Minimise costly delays and on-site rework
  • Streamline procurement, workshop fabrication, and construction assembly
  • Integrate real-world site data through advanced 3-D LiDAR scanning

Structural Drafting

Our structural drafting team delivers highly detailed plans and drawings for steel frameworks, concrete supports, platforms, and industrial infrastructure. All documentation is prepared to meet AS 1100 and AS 4100 compliance requirements.

Key deliverables:

  • 2D and 3D structural framing layouts
  • Footing and foundation plans
  • Connection and fabrication details for beams, columns, and supports
  • Shop drawings for steel fabricators
  • Coordination with structural engineers for validation and construction accuracy

Mechanical Drafting Services

Our mechanical drafting capabilities cover plant layouts, machinery, piping systems, and industrial components. We convert your concepts into precise, production-ready technical documentation.

Key Mechanical Drafting Deliverables:

  • Detailed CAD drawings of mechanical parts and assemblies
  • Pipe & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
  • Plant and equipment layout plans
  • Bills of Materials (BOMs) for procurement and manufacturing
  • Drafting support for pressure piping (AS 4041) and HVAC systems (AS/NZS 1668)

Detail Drafting & 3-D LiDAR Scanning

We offer detail drafting services to ensure every component is clearly defined and ready for fabrication. Our team also integrates 3-D LiDAR scanning to capture as-built site conditions, enabling accurate retrofit design and clash detection.

Applications:

  • Reverse engineering of legacy systems
  • Site measurement validation
  • Digital twin development
  • Retrofitting and upgrade planning
