At Price & Myers 3D Engineering, the guiding principle is design to build. This means understanding how a structure will be made, knowing which technologies to adopt, producing a full range of design engineering data from concept to fabrication and seeing a project through to completion. Founding partner, Tim Lucas and his team use SolidWorks to enable the smooth design progression that helps them to achieve these goals.

Price & Myers have been working on an unusual conversion project to transform a Martello tower on the Suffolk coast into a luxury weekend hideaway. “This project has evolved significantly over time,” explains Lucas. “The original design of the roof has developed from our initial concepts into the sweeping, circular roof that now appears to float above the tower. We have used SolidWorks throughout the project to give us the organic design progression we require and to help us solve many of the engineering and aesthetic challenges.”
