Modeling
3D plan design / engineering drawing service in metallurgy in Montreal for custom projects
Why develop a 3D plan before construction?
3D modeling involves creating a complete three-dimensional model of your structure. This is a crucial step before any fabrication. Unlike traditional 2D plans, 3D plans allow you to visualize every detail from all angles, anticipate potential issues, and validate the entire project from the outset. For complex metal structures, it is an indispensable tool that prevents costly errors and accelerates manufacturing.
All 3D plans are produced in-house by our team of professionals. When required by the project, plans will be approved by an engineer.
which projects require a 3D plan?
Commercial
In the commercial sector, foot traffic is high, and aesthetics are often a decisive factor. 3D modeling allows us to design metal structures that combine strength and refined appearance, while ensuring perfect integration into the architectural environment.
Industrial
Industrial environments demand robust structures, designed to support significant loads and withstand intensive use conditions. Our 3D plans are developed with the rigor necessary to guarantee the solidity and durability of each installation.
Institutional
Institutional projects are subject to strict standards and precise regulatory requirements. Our expertise in building codes and our RBQ certification enable us to design structures that comply with the most demanding standards.
The numerous projects we have completed for various Montreal boroughs, including Ville-Marie, Westmount and NDG, have allowed us to develop a solid understanding of institutional requirements regarding safety standards.
As a welding shop specializing in metal in Montreal for over 8 years, our team of professionals develops shop drawings with the expertise of those who will build the structure themselves.
Our field experience is reflected in every model: precise plans, compliant with standards and directly ready for fabrication.
With our complete project management and RBQ certification, you benefit from a single trusted partner, from drawing to installation.

Q&A on 3D Plans
Is a 3D plan truly necessary for a project?
A 3D plan is highly recommended as soon as a project involves a structure, assembly, or element supporting loads or people.
A plan ensures the safety of individuals and reduces the risk of errors.
Who approves the 3D plan?
PacoMétal is a company holding an RBQ license, which allows us to produce shop drawings that comply with building requirements.
When required, the plans are then approved by an engineer, with an engineer’s seal, to ensure compliance with applicable standards, including those of the CNESST.
Do all projects require a 3D plan?
No.
Some simple projects can be completed without detailed plans.
However, a shop drawing is highly recommended as soon as a project involves a structure, assembly, or element supporting loads or people.
A plan ensures the safety of individuals and reduces the risk of errors.
Is the plan sufficient to complete the project without Pacometal?
Yes.
Our 3D plans are designed to be used by a contractor, a fabricator, or a site team.
The plan includes the necessary information for execution:
-
Precise project dimensions
-
Assembly details
-
Technical specifications
-
Structure information
What information do you need to receive to produce a 3D plan?
To produce an accurate plan, we require:
-
Approximate or final dimensions
-
Intended use of the structure
-
Photos of the intended location
-
Specific project constraints
- Or any other relevant information
Based on these elements, we produce a structured steel shop drawing, ready for execution.
