Design, drawings and engineering

Your design intent, carried into drawings the shop can build from and you can sign.

  • Design development

    We take a sketch, a render or a reference and develop it into a buildable design, keeping the look you approved.

  • 3D modelling

    Every piece is modelled in 3D at full scale in Rhino, SolidWorks or Fusion 360 before anything is cut.

  • Renders and walkthroughs

    Photoreal renders and walkthroughs, so your client approves the piece before it is built.

  • Shop drawings and submittals

    Dimensioned shop drawings in feet and inches, with materials, finishes and hardware called out, issued for your sign-off.

  • Structural engineering

    Load paths, connections and stamped calculations where a venue, landlord or building department asks for them.

  • Site survey and field measure

    We measure the venue or store ourselves, so the piece fits the room it is going into.

  • 3D scanning

    Scanning of existing rooms, objects and props, for an exact fit or an exact replica.
