3d Modelling Services
At Gorton Structures, we use advanced 3D modelling services to bring your project to life with precision and detail. These models aren’t just visually impressive, they’re packed with reliable data that supports every stage of the build, from first design ideas to construction.
This software enables our structural design team to streamline collaboration among architects, engineers, fabricators and contractors. This ensures that all stakeholders are working from the same up-to-date information. This helps to reduce errors, avoid costly delays and improve overall project coordination.
Here’s what our 3D modelling software brings to the table:
- Detailed, accurate 3D models you can trust
- Flexible modelling in steel, concrete or any material you need
- Easy collaboration with an open BIM approach
- The ability to handle even the most complex projects
- A smooth flow of information from design through to the construction site
- Complete material lists, fabrication drawings, part details, and DSTV (.NC) files
- Clear 3D views including erection details to guide the build

FAQ’s
What types of structures do you design at Gorton Structures?
We design a wide range of structures at Gorton Structures. This includes residential buildings, commercial facilities, industrial complexes and agricultural buildings. Our team can handle everything from small-scale projects to large, complex structures.
What is 3D modelling and why is it important?
3D modelling creates a digital representation of your structure that includes accurate dimensions, material specifications, and construction details. It improves accuracy, helps detect design issues early, and streamlines collaboration.
What is Building Information Modelling (BIM)?
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a smart, digital process used in construction and design to create detailed 3D models of a building or structure. At Gorton Structures, we use an open BIM approach. This means our models can integrate with other systems and software, making it easier to collaborate with any team. This ensures your project runs smoothly, stays on schedule and meets quality expectations right from the start.
Do Gorton Structures help with existing structures or renovations?
Absolutely. Here at Gorton Structures, we can assess and redesign existing structures, provide retrofit solutions and adapt our models to support renovation or expansion projects.
