Draughting and Detailing Services

The professional engineering team is supported by a full CAD draughting facility, operating on the latest Autodesk products. This enables the team to produce detailed drawings from the conceptual design phase to the final design (including workshop drawings of structural steelwork). We offer BIM services to our clients and produce 3D models to suit our clients’ needs.
