3D Modelling, Design, and Premium Project Management Services in Tasmania

The Engineering Company provides expert 3D modelling, scanning, and design drafting services from our Somerset and Hobart offices, working with clients across Tasmania and interstate. Our team combines advanced technology with decades of hands-on engineering experience to create accurate, practical, and build-ready designs. From concept to commissioning, we provide end-to-end project management and detailed documentation that supports efficiency, safety, and precision at every stage.

Advanced 3D Modelling and Laser Scanning Services

Our 3D modelling services use industry-leading software and scanning technology to capture and recreate both new and existing structures with complete accuracy. We utilise AutoCAD Inventor and Leica laser scanning to produce detailed digital representations that assist in planning, fabrication, and installation. By capturing existing site conditions, we eliminate measurement errors and ensure new components integrate seamlessly with existing systems. This accuracy helps reduce rework, save time, and improve project coordination.

Design Drafting and Workshop Drawing Capabilities

The Engineering Company prepares comprehensive design and workshop drawings to support all types of fabrication and construction projects. Our drawings provide full detail for manufacturing, assembly, and installation, giving clients confidence that every part will fit and function as intended. We also generate DXF files directly from 3D models, allowing for seamless transition from design to CNC cutting and machining. This streamlined workflow ensures faster turnaround times and improved quality control throughout the project lifecycle.

Integration With Fabrication and Engineering Projects

Because The Engineering Company offers both design and fabrication services, we can manage entire projects under one roof. This integration between our design team and workshop ensures consistent communication, reduced lead times, and complete accountability. Every design is reviewed with fabrication practicality in mind, ensuring materials, tolerances, and processes are suited to the real-world application. The result is a smoother production process and better outcomes for our clients.

Premium Project Management and Collaboration

We believe that successful projects are built on clear communication and collaboration. Our premium project management approach brings together designers, engineers, and clients at every stage — from scoping and concept development to delivery and commissioning. We provide clear methodologies, project schedules, budget estimates, and safety plans using Microsoft Project and other tools. Clients are involved in model reviews, ensuring transparency and alignment before fabrication begins.

CAPEX and Methodology Support

Our 3D modelling team also assists clients with capital expenditure (CAPEX) budgeting and methodology proposals. By visualising designs in 3D, we help identify cost-saving opportunities, simplify construction sequences, and assess risks before work begins. This proactive approach ensures that your project is both financially and technically efficient. Our experience across multiple industries — including mining, hydropower, and food processing — allows us to provide reliable advice grounded in practical knowledge.

3D Modelling, Design, and Project Management FAQs

  • What software does The Engineering Company use for 3D modelling and design drafting?

    We use AutoCAD Inventor for 3D modelling and drawing production, combined with Leica laser scanning technology to capture existing site conditions and ensure precise fit and fabrication.

  • Can you provide CNC and shop data directly from the 3D model?

    Yes, we generate DXF files and other model-driven outputs directly from our 3D designs, allowing for seamless transition to CNC cutting, machining, and fabrication.

  • Can The Engineering Company join a project that has already started?

    Yes, we can scan existing structures, model up additional requirements, and integrate our design work into ongoing projects without disrupting progress.

  • How does your team manage risk during the design phase?

    We conduct thorough site scanning, interference checks, and model reviews to identify potential issues early. This approach minimises errors, improves constructability, and reduces on-site delays

  • Can you assist with budget planning for complex projects?

    Yes, our team provides concept-level design proposals and CAPEX budgeting support, helping clients develop realistic estimates and schedules before full-scale work begins.

  • How involved can clients be during the design process?

    We encourage regular collaboration and transparency through design reviews, model walkthroughs, and progress meetings. This ensures your project vision is accurately reflected in the final design.

  • Do you offer complete design-to-installation project management?

    Yes, we can handle the entire process — from scanning and modelling through to fabrication, coating, transport, and on-site installation — all managed by one accountable project lead.
