Drafting Services

 

Drafting Services That Are Built on Engineering, Not Guesswork

When drafting is treated as a standalone service, problems usually follow — drawings that don’t reflect site reality, clashes during installation, or components that simply don’t fit.

At Hamilton By Design, our drafting services are engineering-led, informed by LiDAR scanning, site experience, and real-world fabrication constraints. The result is documentation that contractors, fabricators, and engineers can actually rely on.


Why Drafting Alone Is Often Not Enough

Many drafting services rely on:

  • Incomplete site measurements

  • Outdated or incorrect legacy drawings

  • Assumptions made without engineering oversight

This approach increases risk — particularly on industrial, mining, and brownfield projects where accuracy and fit-up matter.

Hamilton By Design takes a different approach.


Engineering-Led Drafting Services

Our drafting services are supported by mechanical engineering expertise and engineering-grade LiDAR scanning, ensuring drawings reflect what truly exists on site.

We provide drafting support for:

  • Mechanical and structural steelwork

  • Industrial plant and equipment

  • Platforms, walkways, and access systems

  • Brownfield upgrades and modifications

  • Fabrication-ready workshop drawings

All documentation is developed with constructability, safety, and compliance in mind.


The Role of LiDAR Scanning in Accurate Drafting

Where required, we integrate 3D LiDAR scanning to capture precise site geometry before drafting begins. This allows us to:

  • Eliminate manual measurement errors

  • Capture complex and congested environments

  • Model existing assets accurately

  • Reduce rework and site clashes

This is especially valuable for shutdown-critical works and retrofit projects.


Built for Fabrication, Installation, and Compliance

Our drafting is not produced in isolation. It is developed to support:

  • Fabrication and machining

  • Site installation and fit-up

  • Engineering verification where required

  • Australian Standards-aligned outcomes

We draft how fabricators think, not just how software draws.
