About us

Multiplan has been modelling and detailing steel since 1993. We are based in Belmont, Perth, with offices in Sofia and Plovdiv in Bulgaria, and we work across infrastructure, mining and resources, oil and gas, energy, commercial and industrial projects.

Our work includes Perth's Matagarup Bridge, the Sydney Gateway project, the Mt Holland Lithium Project and the Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopment, which won an Australian Steel Institute award for steel.

We sit between the engineers and the fabricator. The models we produce go to the workshop and to site.

We have taken trainees through to senior modellers and held the team together through the GFC and the 2015 mining downturn. Training, development and mentoring are part of the job. Work-from-home arrangements are available, and our Women in Steel initiative is opening the industry up to more women.
