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 Original drawings are incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong.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.
Our 3D Scanning & Drafting Services
3D LiDAR Laser Scanning
- On-site 3D LiDAR scanning of buildings, plant rooms, industrial areas and external structures
- Safe, non-intrusive data capture with minimal disruption to tenants or operations
- High-resolution point clouds suitable for detailed engineering and architectural design
As-Built Documentation & Point Cloud Deliverables
- Cleaned and registered point clouds supplied in industry-standard formats
- 2D plans, sections and elevations derived from the scan
- As-built drawings for compliance, approvals and record documentation
3D Modelling & Drafting
- 3D models developed in professional CAD platforms (e.g. SolidWorks and other CAD tools)
- Structural steel, mechanical plant, pipework and platforms modelled directly from scan data
- General arrangement drawings, details and DXF files ready for fabrication
Coordination, Clash Checks & Fit-Out Support
- Model overlays for new works versus existing conditions
- Early identification of clashes in ceilings, risers and plant rooms
- Support for coordination meetings between architects, engineers and builders
Typical Projects in Chatswood & Sydney
- Office and commercial fit-outs in Chatswood’s commercial towers
- Refurbishment of aged office buildings into modern workplaces or mixed-use spaces
- Plant-room upgrades for HVAC, fire, electrical and data infrastructure
- Retail, hospitality and hotel refurbishments needing accurate existing conditions
- Layout and expansion projects in industrial estates and light-manufacturing facilities
In each case, our role is to give your team accurate 3D project data so design, pricing and construction decisions are based on reality, not assumptions.
