Scalable documentation support for contractors

Commercial contractors often need additional technical capacity to support complex projects and manage growing workloads. Away Digital provides dedicated technical teams that work alongside your existing people, helping you increase capacity and keep projects moving.

General contractors

Away Digital supports commercial contractors with the technical work required to turn design into deliverable projects. Our teams can extend your existing capability across the technical and delivery stages of a project, providing support where additional capacity is needed:

• Drafting and technical documentation – developing and maintaining the drawings and documentation required to progress projects.

• Design development and redocumentation – taking design information and developing it into construction-ready documentation.

• BIM and model coordination – coordinating models and disciplines to identify and resolve issues before they impact delivery.

• Estimating support – assisting with the technical information and documentation needed to develop accurate project estimates.

• Design coordination – helping coordinate design information across teams, disciplines and project requirements.

• Project documentation and delivery support – providing additional technical capacity to keep documentation progressing and projects moving.

Industrial contractors

Complex industrial projects leave little room for documentation delays. In energy, oil and gas, chemical, and manufacturing environments, on-time delivery depends on accurate, coordinated drawings completed quickly. 

When detailing slows, fabrication stalls. Incomplete drawings create risk for construction teams, while in-house VDC and design teams are often stretched across projects. 

Process piping systems add another layer of complexity, demanding intelligent 3D modeling, strict adherence to specifications and fabrication ready outputs. 

Many contractors operate in-house fabrication facilities requiring hundreds or even thousands of isometric drawings. When internal drafting teams cannot deliver on time, deadlines are missed. At the same time, gaps between engineering intent and construction-level detail create additional modeling requirements before fabrication begins.

Skilled piping designers using tools such as CADworx, Bentley OpenPlant, AutoCAD Plant3D and Smart 3D, to name a few, are increasingly difficult and expensive to hire locally. For many contractors, securing experienced talent that understands complex piping systems, fabrication requirements and specialized software environments has become a major constraint on project delivery. 

We support construction contractors with: 

• Intelligent 3D plant and piping modelling 

• Specification driven component selection 

• Coordinated Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) 

• Automated isometric drawing generation 

• High volume isometric drawing production for fabrication 

• Fabrication level detailing and shop outputs 

• Bills of materials extracted directly from 3D models 

• Multi discipline model coordination and clash detection 

Our teams operate across industry standard platforms, CADworx, Bentley OpenPlant, AutoCAD Plant3D and Smart 3D, ensuring integration into established project ecosystems.

By improving documentation quality and increasing modelling capacity, we help contractors reduce fabrication delays, minimize rework and maintain project certainty across complex industrial projects.
