Hamilton By Design – Professional Engineering Drafting & LiDAR Scanning Services

If you’re looking for reliable, accurate engineering drafting services, you’re not alone.

Whether you’re developing a new product, documenting an existing asset, or preparing designs for fabrication, clear and precise drafting is essential. Good drafting doesn’t just represent geometry — it communicates intent, tolerances, and build information in a way that your fabricators and suppliers can trust.

At Hamilton By Design, we specialise in professional drafting services backed by engineering expertise — ensuring the drawings you rely on are accurate, useful, and ready for real-world production.

Why Drafting Still Matters

In a world where 3D models are everywhere, 2D drafting still plays a critical role in engineering and manufacturing.

Detailed drawings are used for:

  • fabrication and assembly instructions

  • compliance and certification documentation

  • quoting and production planning

  • site installation and coordination

A good draft is more than “lines on a page.” It’s a communication tool between design engineers, fabricators, and builders — and mistakes here cost time and money.

That’s why many businesses choose to work with experienced drafting professionals.


More Than Just Lines — Engineering-Led Drafting

A lot of firms will offer “CAD” or “drafting” as a feature — but drafting that’s supported by engineering intent and understanding is a different level of service.

Our drafting services deliver:

  • Engineering-ready 2D fabrication drawings

  • BOM (Bill of Materials) documentation

  • Tolerances and fitment callouts

  • Easily readable, compliant documentation

  • Revision history and version control

We work with clients in sectors where clarity matters — including manufacturing, construction, infrastructure, rail, automotive, and custom fabrication.




LiDAR & Reality Capture — Bringing the Real World Into Your Drawings

Many modern projects start with real-world geometry — whether it’s a brownfield structure, an existing asset, or a legacy machine with no drawings.

In situations like this, traditional drafting can’t be done from memory or rough measurements. That’s where LiDAR and 3D scanning come in.

Once a site or asset is scanned using LiDAR technology, the point cloud data can be used to generate accurate drafting deliverables — and save you time, risk, and rework.

This is especially useful for:

  • retrofit and upgrade projects

  • existing plant documentation

  • reverse engineering

  • as-built drawings


Trusted Drafting Support for Your Engineering Team

Whether you need help with one-off drawings or ongoing drafting support, we integrate with your workflow to deliver fast, accurate results.

Our drafting support can help you:

  • free up your internal resources

  • reduce drafting backlogs

  • improve drawing quality and consistency

  • transition from 3D scans to production documentation

We treat your drawings with the same care we would our own — because accuracy is everything.


Get It Right the First Time

Good drafting saves headaches later.

Poor documentation leads to:
❌ miscommunication
❌ rework and delays
❌ cost blowouts
❌ site coordination failures

Good drafting makes your engineering smarter, smoother, and more reliable.

If your next project involves:

  • fabrication

  • construction

  • production

  • installation

  • site verification

  • or asset lifecycle documentation

then expert drafting is one of the best investments you can make.
