    Design & Engineering

    Use our CAD, Structural Design and Material Science to give your project the edge.

    Our expertise in CAD (Computer-Aided Design), structural design and material science is a powerful combination that offers you unrivalled access to the best problem-solving capabilities in the industry. We’re able to consider the entire lifecycle of client’s design projects – from their conceptualisation in CAD, to the correct selection of materials and even structural analysis for optimal performance. Get in touch with our Design and Engineering team today and Unlock the Power of Composites.

    In-House Design and Engineering Capabilities

    Our in-house Design and Engineering capabilities help you adapt to specific challenges in complex projects, using the most sustainable composite solutions available.

    Comprehensive Design Process

    In our Design Studio, the process typically begins with a detailed design consultation and feasibility analysis, ensuring that your vision aligns seamlessly with the practical usage considerations of your walkway or structure. We then progress to conceptualisation, turning your project brief into digital visual representations through computer-aided design (CAD).

    Software Expertise

    Our design team leverages a suite of advanced software tools, including Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Recap, Autodesk Navisworks, Autodesk 3DS Max, DS Solidworks, Chaos Vray, Autodesk HSMworks, Pix4D Mapper, Z-Suite, and Ansys.

    Client-Centric Drawings

    Our commitment to client satisfaction is reflected in our proposal drawings, which come with up to 3 free revisions to fine-tune the details. If you need to make changes after this, additional revisions are available at an extra cost, so you can be crystal clear that the final design meets your exact specifications.

    3D Printing Service

    If your concept is something novel, or a prototype, you may want to take advantage of our 3D printing service, allowing you to visualise your designs in all dimensions before we progress to full-scale production or fabrication.

    Fabrication Drawings for Precision Construction

    When it’s time to bring your approved design to life, we provide full fabrication drawings. Serving as a detailed guide, these drawings significantly reduce the likelihood of errors, rework, or inefficiencies during the construction phase. This ensures a seamless transition from design to reality.
