The impact on the environment of a new bridge, business park or wind farm can be difficult to visualise. Experience has shown that people understand and trust a physical model more than any other media. We can work directly from O.S. data to produce computer-machined landscapes, or interpret your survey drawings or photographs. Stepped contours, stylised, full colour or timber laminates all available.

Grant Sword, partner at Castle Stuart Golf links says:    "Inver Models were commissioned by Castle Stuart Golf Links ( Home of the Scottish Open 2010- 2013) to prepare two identical landscape models featuring the master plan for the future 425 acre Golf Resort. We wanted to showcase our future hotel and lodge plans to prospective clients at the Scottish Open. The models worked a treat – they were extremely well made with incredible attention to detail. As a marketing initiative we were delighted with the awareness they created".
