Construction Engineered.

OD3 Group is a structural steel detailing and digital construction specialist, with one digital thread from point cloud to fabricated, verified steel.

The digital thread

Follow one job from first scan to signed-off steel.

Each stage feeds the next from the same model. Tap through to see what happens, and who does it. This continuity is the whole point: one thread, no handoff gaps.

Stage 01 / 07

Capture

We scan the site or structure with a Trimble X7 and build a point cloud accurate to ±2mm: the single source of truth everything downstream is built on.

SSE Arena LED Ribbon Support Package

OD3 Group delivered a new LED ribbon support structure at the SSE Arena Belfast end to end, laser-scanning the exposed-steel bowl, engineering and detailing the steelwork, and setting it out on site so a 5-tonne package fitted first time in a venue that never stopped performing.

Why OD3

The advantage is the thread, and who holds it.

01

One partner, end to end

Survey, model, design, set-out and delivery under one roof, so there are no gaps to fall through between separate consultants.

02

Modelled once, built right

A single model carries from first scan to as-built sign-off. No re-keying between trades, no drift, no surprises on site.

03

±2mm precision

Laser-scanned reality in, robotic total-station set-out out, and a verified as-built record to close the loop.

04

PI-backed engineering

Connection design to Eurocode 3, signed off and covered by £1m of professional indemnity insurance.

05

Proven since 2012

Contracts delivered across the UK, EU, US and Australia, for fabricators, main contractors and architects alike.

06

Built on our own platform

We run the firm on software we built ourselves, so your job stays standardised, tracked and on record from first scan to sign-off.
