Architectural Models

Our architectural scale models are used by our clients for planning and site marketing purposes. We can manufacture a cost effective planning model to illustrate to your planners the attributes of a site. With a full detailed scale model we can create an accurate scale representation of your site.

We can offer lighting options to give an extra dimension to your model, our model makers manufacture scale models for architects, town planners, civil engineers, and museums.

As can be seen from our selected client list, we are commissioned by nationally known and respected companies, we believe that our success is based on their confidence in our ability to produce architectural models to the highest standards and exacting schedules.
