3D Modelling

3D modelling in the construction and engineering industry is the creation of 3 dimensional images of buildings, infrastructure, and construction elements.

3D models can be made from traditional 2D drawings, or created from scratch in a 3D modelling software package.

McGregor has a strong track record preparing accurate 3D models for large and complex projects including:

• Concrete
• Sructural steel
• Façade
• Services
• Surrounds
• Plant & equipment
• Logistics & access
• Temporary works & scaffolds
• Cranes & hoists

Typically the sources of information  used to model new and existing buildings and structures include:

• 2D drawings (hand drawn and CAD files)
• Point cloud surveys of existing structures
• Plant and equipment specifications
• Surround models
• Photographs
• Sketches
• Maps & GIS information
