Houses Architectural models benefit the vast majority of building projects as a planning and marketing aid. We are able to produce a wide range of buildings and stuctures, using the latest technology including 3D printing, CNC Milling and Laser Cutting along with traditional architectural model making skills to re-create a variety of materials, finishes and textures such as, stone, metal, grass and water. Whatever your requirements we are able to produce your desired design and help to make your vision into reality.

Apartments Apartment blocks are usually modelled in scales ranging from 1:150, 1:120, 1:100, 1:75 and even 1:50. This enables to get a great amount of detail down to even the brick coursing on the larger scales. Individual apartment lighting is also available and can be controlled by our own touch screen system or connected to others utilising cat5 connectors if required. We also provide bases and plinths in round and even oval shapes alongside the popular traditional rectangular style. These can all be finished to compliment a customers marketing suite. As a sales tool these large scale models have proven to be the ideal way to communicate to potential purchasers the design and to assist their choice for a new home or investment.

Commercial & Education We don’t just make housing models over the years we have constructed many other types including Industrial complexes, hospitals, shopping centres, production facilities, power stations.
