3D Scanning for Structural Drafting Brisbane | Engineer-Led

Accurate As-Built Data for Structural Drafting — No Guesswork

At Hamilton By Design, we provide 3D LiDAR scanning for structural drafting throughout Brisbane and Queensland, delivering accurate as-built data for project engineers, fabricators, councils, government agencies, and asset owners working across mining, infrastructure, and industrial environments.

In Brisbane’s diverse project landscape — from remote mining support to commercial and infrastructure upgrades — inaccurate or missing as-built drawings create risk. Our 3D scanning service captures real site conditions, eliminating guesswork, and feeding reliable data into structural drafting that you can trust.

Why 3D Scanning Matters for Structural Drafting in Brisbane

Brisbane projects often involve:

Brownfield industrial sites with undocumented steelwork
Live mining and logistics hubs with limited shutdown windows
Councils and government infrastructure requiring compliance
Fabrication and installation coordination across multiple stakeholders
Tight deadlines on construction and maintenance programs

Traditional survey methods introduce errors that lead to clashes, rework, and compliance risk. Engineering-grade 3D scanning provides a solid foundation for structural drafting, ensuring that what you design and detail reflects what’s actually on site.

3D Scanning as the Foundation for Structural Drafting

We position 3D scanning as a data capture tool that enables better structural drafting.

Our integrated workflow includes:

3D LiDAR scanning → 3D modelling → structural engineering → FEA (where required) → structural drafting

This ensures that:

Structural drawings are based on verified geometry
Clash risk for fabricated steel is significantly reduced
Engineering decisions are backed by accurate site data
Drafting aligns with constructability and installation sequences

One Local Team — One Accountable Partner

Unlike fragmented processes that hand work between scanning and drafting vendors, we deliver the complete service:

3D LiDAR scanning throughout Brisbane / Queensland
3D model generation from as-built captures
Structural engineering and analysis
Finite Element Analysis (FEA), where required
Structural drafting and fabrication documentation

One contact. One accountable team. One integrated workflow.

This approach improves communication, reduces handover risk, and provides a single point of responsibility from site capture to final deliverables.

Brisbane-Based with Fast Turnaround

We are local to Brisbane and regularly work across:

Greater Brisbane and Southeast Queensland
Mining and logistics hubs (remote site support)
Government and council assets
Industrial and manufacturing facilities
Ports, wharves, and marine infrastructure

Being local allows us to mobilise quickly, respond to site constraints, and support projects with fast turnaround when time matters.

Typical Applications Across Brisbane & Queensland

Our 3D scanning for structural drafting services support:

Mining infrastructure and remote site steelwork
Brownfield industrial facilities
Bridges, transport infrastructure, and public assets
Council upgrades and compliance projects
Ports, shipyards, and marine structures
Manufacturing and warehouse structural works

Each engagement is approached with an emphasis on site access constraints, compliance, and practical installation outcomes.

Compliance You Can Rely On

All structural drafting is produced in accordance with:

The National Construction Code (NCC)
Relevant Australian Standards
Brisbane/Queensland government and council specifications

We understand that compliance is a key risk for clients. Our deliverables support defensible, data-backed documentation that aligns with project and regulatory requirements.
