3D Modelling

SUMO have undertaken a wide range of projects, 3D modelling building exteriors and interiors, theatres, city streetscapes, railway stations, bridges, industrial plants, machinery, warehouse spaces, cave systems, aircraft, boats, quarries, and television & film sets to name just a few.

 

Why choose a 3D Model

​

To improve the understanding and accuracy of a project

 

By providing a real-world digital view, a highly accurate digital twin provides real-world context for design, construction, operational analysis and decisions which can then be used throughout the life-cycle of a project. 3D models allow for highly accurate measurements to be taken for design and planning purposes, as well as remote inspections of a site with visual clarity.

 

To provide full visual representation of a project

 

From the design process to the presentation, a 3D model helps everyone gain a true understanding of what a project will look like. It puts a project in the context of its location and how it fits with the surrounding area.

 

To provide cost efficiencies

 

Having a 3D model produced cuts down on time spent for project analysis, design and development and is cost effective compared to other survey outputs. 2D plans, elevations and section drawings can also be quickly extracted from a 3D model, reducing time and costs for any additional drawing work that may be needed.

 

To provide enhanced collaboration between all teams involved in a project

 

A 3D model is a more attractive and understandable way to show a project to all involved parties. 3D models are a life-like representation, this can be one of the most effective ways to communicate the main idea among different stakeholders, even as early as at the scheme stage. Can also easily be shared with others digitally.

 

Identify potential design problems

 

3D modelling allows for the experimentation of different ideas and identify any potential problems with a project before they become real world issues, cutting down on time and costs that might have been incurred later on.

 

To obtain real-time updates to a project

 

A 3D model can be easily edited and updated at any stage of a project cycle, with changes to an as-built model as a project progresses, or additions made to as-built models as project designs are subsequently created.
