With over 30 years of experience in carpentry, including 15 years working as a bench and fit-out carpenter for the UK’s leading luxury motorboat manufacturer, we bring precision, craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of space to every project.
Our background combines traditional skills, technical design, and modern 3D visualisation tools — giving our clients a unique advantage when planning renovations, upgrades, and marketing their businesses.
Today, as CADman4you 3DTours, we focus on transforming how people see and present their spaces.
From kitchens and bathrooms to boat interiors and commercial environments, we help clients preview ideas, test concepts, and showcase completed work with clarity and confidence.
We believe great design starts with accurate information.
That’s why our process always begins with a measured survey, followed by CAD layouts or 3D modelling — helping clients make informed choices about materials, colours, furniture, or complete refurbishments.
Whether you’re redesigning a living space, upgrading a motorboat, or building custom storage, we provide the visual tools to bring your ideas to life before a single tool is lifted.
Our mission is simple:
To combine craftsmanship, technology, and creativity into visual experiences that inspire action.
What Makes Us Different
🔹 Google Maps Visibility — Free Local Service
We help Plymouth businesses appear correctly and professionally on Google Maps by setting up accurate listings, photos, and business details.
As part of our free service, we capture a 360° Street View panorama, publish it to Google Maps, and connect it directly to your Google Business Profile.
This instantly boosts visibility and helps customers find and trust your business.
🔹 Street View Hotspot → Direct Link Into a 3D Tour
Where possible, we create an interactive entry point:
a hotspot placed on your Google Street View image that transports viewers directly into your 3D virtual tour.
This creates a seamless experience from Google Maps → into your business interior.
🔹 Before & After Split-Screen Visuals
Transformations tell powerful stories.
We specialise in split-screen comparisons that reveal exactly how a space changes — perfect for trades, kitchen fitters, bathroom designers, and boat retrofit companies who want to showcase real results.
🔹 3D Tours (3DVista + Insta360)
Our immersive 3D tours allow clients and customers to explore a space from anywhere.
Whether it’s a new refurbishment, a commercial showroom, or a motorboat refit, our tours provide a dynamic walk-through experience that increases engagement and improves marketing impact.
🔹 CAD Planning & 3D Modelling
We design storage solutions, furniture layouts, and interior concepts using modern CAD tools and 3D modelling.
Ideal for clients wanting to preview new furniture, colours, materials, or structural changes.
🔹 Hands-on Craftsmanship Background
Unlike pure digital agencies, we understand real construction, materials, tolerances, and practical challenges.
Our visualisations and designs are based on real-world experience, ensuring accuracy and feasibility.
🔹 Clear, Honest, Personal Service
We work closely with every client to understand their vision and deliver results that are both practical and visually compelling.
