These structural drafting projects cover the spread of Australian structural work: steel detailing for fabrication, custom home engineering in coastal wind regions, high-rise documentation, retrofitting and rehabilitation, and the analysis work — FEA verification, structural assessment — that sits behind the drawings. The consistent thread is documentation built for its actual consumer: shop drawings a workshop can fabricate from, engineering drawings a certifier can approve from, analysis reports a verifier can rely on.
Each case study records the standards, software and approach, from AS 4100 steel design through AS 1684 residential framing. If your project needs structural drafting, detailing or verification, these pages show the quality bar before you ever send a brief.
Fabricators, builders and engineers use this portfolio the same way: find the project shaped like yours, read how it was documented, and gauge whether the approach fits your job. The steel detailing case studies in particular show turnaround and fit-up metrics — the numbers a workshop actually cares about.
