Core Systems set for growth after creating new CGI role
Core Systems Software , an innovative Darlington-based company , is poised for a period of significant expansion following its recent appointment of a computergenerated imagery ( CGI ) specialist .
This new addition to the team will help to meet the increasing demand from the Tees region and beyond , marking a pivotal moment in the company ’ s upward trajectory .
Core Systems Software , notable for its role in restructuring the construction process by utilising tech , was recently shortlisted for Project of the Year , Digital Newcomer of the Year and Innovation at the Tees Business Tech Awards .
This recognition underscores the company ’ s ongoing success and commitment to innovation .
Furthering its achievements , Core has also formed a strategic partnership with Teesside University ’ s Industrial Digitalisation Technology Centre ( IDTC ). This collaboration has not only led to recognition in the Project of the Year category but also presented the opportunity for Prassanna Dinesh to join Core in a newly created role .
Using CGI technology , Core assists developers , architects , designers and planners by creating high-quality mockups of various environments , producing ultra-high-quality renders , fly-throughs and facilitating virtual reality walkthroughs anywhere globally .
Its software and services have already been implemented in France , Denmark , Rhode Island and other locations across the United States , with plans for future expansion .
Core founder Paul Bass said : “ From hotels to football clubs to student accommodations , the possibilities with our CGI work are endless . Our solutions prioritise efficiency , health and safety ,

sustainability and quality .
“ We can build digital models of a design before it ’ s built , inviting stakeholders to understand the space better by inviting them to walk around inside it , look at the design and understand the space .
“ It is much easier and cheaper to change designs and make informed decisions early on in the construction process . The opportunities going forward are potentially huge .
“ We take pride in our ability to deliver the highest quality CGI images that bring projects to life - these services allow you to experience your designs in a fully immersive and interactive way , giving you a better understanding of how the space will look and feel .”
In addition to ultra-high-quality CGI and rendering services , Core also provides point cloud modelling ( scan to BIM ), REVIT , sketchup , archicad modelling , lidar scanning and virtual tours .
Paul said : “ The technology and services we provide bring a wealth of benefits . For example , we can conduct site inspections remotely , reducing the need for engineers to travel and lowering costs significantly .
“ This shift towards digital twinning makes the process more sustainable , efficient and safer , improving quality control and allowing immersive risk assessments and training .”
He added : “ The tech we use enables us

to avoid needing five engineers to go over to France , for instance , to travel just to inspect it . This is a much more sustainable , cost-efficient process where people can avoid having to compile reports because they can inspect sites remotely .
“ They can see the site virtually with the headset on . Imagine the virtual induction , for example . If you are going to an offshore rig , you can already get a flavour of what you are about to experience before you go in .
“ We have already created fire escape simulations , evacuation procedures , installation training and created a digital twin of an asset where people can meet and collaborate in real-time – even if they are based in different locations all over the globe .”
Core recently showcased its digital twinning of offshore structures work at the Baltimore IPF2023 global offshore wind exhibition in collaboration with Trident TS and Correll Group .
The work which incorporated virtual reality , augmented reality and mixed reality to create extended reality ( XR ), garnered attention from multinational corporations , cementing Core as a Tees Valley success story .
Core ’ s ambition extends beyond offshore projects . The company believes its developments can positively impact all construction and engineering sectors .
