Cessnock Drive: fully modelled structural alteration

A residential project developed through a modelled approach, producing multiple coordinated views rather than a set of independently drawn sheets.

The brief

What the project needed.

A domestic scheme detailed to a level where the structural arrangement was modelled and viewed from multiple angles rather than drawn as isolated plans and sections.

Work carried out

  • Modelled structural arrangement
  • Multiple coordinated views per drawing sheet
  • Existing condition survey and photography
  • Full structural drawing set
The engineering

What cessnock drive, kilmarnock actually involves.

Working from a model rather than independent 2D sheets means the views stay coordinated. A change to a beam position updates everywhere it appears, which removes a common source of error on alteration projects where the same element is shown on several drawings.

The approach suits projects where the structural arrangement is three-dimensional in a way plans struggle to convey, particularly around framed openings and level changes.

The record includes 28 CAD files, which is unusually high for a domestic project and reflects the modelled approach rather than a more complicated building.
