3D Architectural Modelling for Your Project
Our 3D modelling architecture services turn 2D plans into a 3D building model you can view from any angle. We build the model from the drawings you supply, so it shows the building the way your plans describe it.
We model new homes, townhouses, apartments, commercial and industrial buildings, renovations, extensions and second storey additions. For a model with trade coordination and quantities, see our BIM modelling services.
What We Model
Building shell
Walls, floors, roofs, openings and stairs, as shown on your plans.
Structure
Slabs, beams, columns and walls, as shown on the structural drawings you supply.
Building services
Services for coordination, linked to our MEP coordination drawings.
MEP coordination drawingsSite and context
The building on its site, where the drawings show it.
Interior layouts
Rooms, joinery and fixtures, as shown on your plans.
Views for review
Views from the model, including exterior and interior views.
What You Can Use the Model For
A 3D model is useful at several points in a project. These are the main uses.
| Use | What the model shows | Related service |
|---|---|---|
| Design review | The building seen from any angle, to review the design shown on your drawings | 3D model views |
| Client presentations | The project in a form clients can understand | Photorealistic visualisation |
| Exterior and interior views | Rendered views built from the model | Exterior rendering and interior rendering |
| Quantities for estimating | Items counted and measured from the model | Quantity takeoff |
| Coordination | Structure and services shown together | MEP coordination drawings |
| Drawings | Plans, sections and elevations drawn from the model | Architectural drafting |
Projects We Model
New homes and townhouses
Single and multi-dwelling residential projects.
Apartments and multi-unit
Multi-storey residential buildings.
Commercial and industrial
Offices, shops, warehouses and other buildings.
Renovations
Existing buildings with changes shown on the drawings.
Extensions and second storeys
New work added to an existing building.
Ancillary dwellings
Smaller second dwellings on a lot, such as granny flats.
Why Use a 3D Model
See the building early
A 3D view is easier to understand than a set of 2D plans.
Check before you build
Spot problems on the model, before they appear on site.
Use one model many ways
The same model can serve views, quantities and coordination.
