CM Design Engineering Ltd was originally established to provide steelwork and light/heavy fabrication detailing services utilizing the latest design software. Over time, we have expanded our offerings to include reality capture and detailed dimensional surveys.

Our team brings extensive experience working with a wide range of fabricators, erectors, engineering, and structural design companies. We take pride in delivering high-quality general arrangement, fabrication, and erection packages.

Leveraging cutting-edge laser scanning technology, we specialize in reverse engineering existing equipment and providing up-to-date, as-built drawings and models.

We have successfully completed projects across various industries, including:
Architectural, Residential & Commercial
Oil & Gas
Air Filtration
Health
Industrial
Nuclear
Food
Processing
Mining

Our clients range from small local businesses to large national organizations. Our deliverables vary from partial shop drawings to comprehensive system arrangements, complete with 3D models for BIM on-site collaboration.





What We Do

Light/Heavy Fabrication Detailing

Utilizing Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor (for more complex fabrications), we are capable of designing and detailing a wide range of both light and heavy fabrications. These include ductwork, silos, hoppers, bag filters, belt conveyor gantries, GTUs, delivery chutes, and drive frames.

Our experience in light gauge design and detailing extends to commercial and residential cold-rolled building frames, electrical cabinets, and ductwork. We can produce all drawings using a specific template if required.

This approach ensures that our clients receive the highest quality steel fabrication drawing packages, delivered on time, meeting specifications, and presented with a high level of detail and professionalism.


Measured Surveys & Reality Capture

We provide on-site services using advanced laser measuring and laser scanning technology to accurately capture existing equipment, buildings, or entire sites. This data allows us to reverse engineer and create precise 2D and 3D drawings and models.

Our surveys are instrumental in supporting Preliminary Front-End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED), offering valuable insights to project stakeholders on the conceptual design and feasibility of both small- and large-scale projects. Following this, we collaborate on comprehensive FEED studies to further refine and develop the project.


Steelwork Detailing

Leveraging the latest Tekla Structures design and modelling software, we deliver precise and comprehensive detailing packages tailored to your specific needs. Our Fab Pack includes General Arrangement Drawings, Weld Assemblies, and Single Part Drawings, all provided in both PDF and DWG formats. Additionally, the Fab Pack comes with detailed reports, including Bolt Lists, Material Lists, Assembly Lists, as well as NC and DXF files for seamless CAM integration.

Our models can also be exported into various formats, enabling their use as reference models in a range of design software or for BIM on-site collaboration.

Services

Autodesk AutoCAD

AutoCAD, a 2D computer-aided drafting software application used in architecture, construction, and manufacturing. Autocad allows us to create 2D drawings which may be used for example to create factory layouts or drawings to be used for quotations or simple fabrications

Autodesk Inventor

Utilising Autodesk Inventor, a 3D mechanical solid modelling design software we can create 3D models of complex machinery or fabrications from which manufacturing drawings are created. It is used for 3D mechanical design, design communication, tooling creation and product simulation.

BIM

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architects, engineers and construction professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure.

Measured Surveys & Reality Capture

We offer on-site services using state-of-the-art laser measuring and scanning technology to precisely capture existing equipment, buildings, or entire sites. This data enables us to reverse engineer and produce highly accurate 2D and 3D drawings and models.





Tekla Structures

Utilizing the latest Tekla Structures 3D design and modelling software, we provide precise detailing packages to meet all your requirements. Our Fab Pack includes General Arrangement Drawings, Weld Assemblies, and Single Part Drawings, all available in both PDF and DWG formats.





Inspection

Provide comprehensive inspection reports on new and existing equipment, steelwork and access.
