Business Details
Expert Draughting Services for Steelwork and Architectural Metalwork
Established in the West Midlands with over 25 years of expertise, we specialise in providing high-quality draughting solutions for the steelwork and architectural metalwork industries. Our team utilises cutting-edge 3D Tekla Structures and AutoCAD software to deliver precise technical drawings, building information modelling (BIM), and customised bill of materials (BOM) reports. We collaborate closely with clients across the UK and Ireland, offering flexible support as an external drawing office or an extension of in-house design teams. Our services encompass structural steelwork, feature staircases, canopies, balustrading, and complex architectural metalwork projects.By integrating advanced technology with a proactive approach, we resolve design challenges pre-manufacture and ensure seamless coordination with existing site conditions. We prioritise client satisfaction through tailored solutions, accurate CNC data generation, and comprehensive production issue packages. Our portfolio includes projects ranging from portal frame buildings to bespoke mezzanine floors and sculptural structures, reflecting our commitment to engineering excellence and innovative design.

Services
Building Information Modelling
Our BIM solutions utilise Tekla Structures to create collaborative 3D models, embedding asset data for efficient project lifecycle management. This approach enhances design coordination, clash detection, and real-time collaboration across disciplines. Clients benefit from reduced on-site conflicts and streamlined erection processes through integrated digital workflows.
Architectural Metalwork
We design bespoke architectural metalwork including feature staircases, canopies, balustrading, and sculptural structures. Using multi-material 3D modelling, we ensure precision in stainless steel, aluminium, and glass components. Our solutions combine aesthetic appeal with structural integrity for complex architectural projects.
Technical Drawings
We produce detailed 2D technical drawings in AutoCAD and PDF formats, including general arrangement and production drawings. These documents provide comprehensive specifications for manufacturing, with material details, CNC data, and traceable component references for seamless project execution.
Steelwork Projects
Our steelwork expertise covers portal frames, mezzanine floors, footbridges, and escape staircases. We deliver tailored solutions from design approval to production, ensuring safety and durability through accurate 3D modelling and coordinated site integration.
3D Modelling
Using Tekla Structures, we create intelligent 3D models for structural and architectural projects. This technology enables visualisation of complex designs, clash detection, and automated CNC data generation, reducing manual errors and accelerating project timelines with data-rich, multi-material simulations.
Questions
What is Building Information Modelling (BIM)?
BIM is a collaborative 3D modelling process that integrates asset data for efficient project management from design to operation, reducing on-site conflicts through digital coordination.
What types of architectural metalwork do you handle?
We specialise in feature staircases, canopies, balustrading, kiosks, glazed balconies, and complex sculptural structures using stainless steel, aluminium, and glass.
Which software do you use for technical drawings?
We utilise Tekla Structures and AutoCAD for 3D modelling and 2D technical drawings, ensuring precision and compatibility with industry-standard CNC manufacturing processes.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
Yes, we collaborate with clients across Ireland and the UK, delivering tailored draughting solutions for projects of varying scale and complexity.
What formats are technical drawings provided in?
Drawings are supplied in AutoCAD (DWG) and PDF formats, including general arrangement, production, and CNC data files for seamless manufacturing integration.
