PREFABHOLZ supports timber construction companies, prefabrication plants, engineering offices and design departments in preparing 3D models, dividing structures into prefabricated elements, and producing drawings and material schedules.
The starting point may include:
We use the structural solutions, layer build-ups and production requirements provided by the client. Any missing information is discussed before the relevant part of the model is developed.
We combine experience in timber construction with CAD automation. The scope and level of detail are adapted to the requirements of the project and the workflow of the production facility.
Based on the files and project information provided by the client, we can rebuild timber structure elements in Cadwork or Tekla® Structures.
Depending on the available source data and technical possibilities, the work may include:
Where the source data and the functions of the target software allow it, elements are rebuilt as editable model objects that can be further developed in the selected CAD environment.
For this work, we use our own internal tools together with the available functions of the software.
The possible scope of the model reconstruction is determined after reviewing the source files. We identify which elements and properties can be rebuilt, which items require additional work and how the result will be checked.
Not every property or function of the source model has a direct equivalent in another CAD environment.
We prepare detailed timber structure models for production and assembly.
The scope of work may include:
We work on the basis of the documentation, structural solutions and technical requirements provided by the client. Element numbering, drawing content and schedule formats are adapted to the agreed standards of the production facility.
Our modelling and workshop documentation services do not include structural calculations. They do not replace a structural design, building permit documentation or checks required from a qualified structural engineer.
We develop and use our own scripts and internal tools to support repetitive modelling and data-processing tasks.
Automation may support:
The automation possibilities depend on the task, the quality of the source data and the functions available in the software.
The purpose is to reduce repetitive manual work and improve the consistency of the prepared data.
Based on the 3D model, we prepare drawings and schedules required for the production and assembly of the timber structure.
The documentation may include:
The drawing layout, element marking system and level of detail are adapted to the agreed standards of the prefabrication plant.
We prepare models and data for CNC machining of timber elements using agreed machine configurations.
Before starting the work, we establish:
The possibility of preparing data for a particular machine is assessed on the basis of the technical information provided by the client.
The agreed scope may also include corrections resulting from a test export and file verification.
You provide the available documentation, CAD drawings, IFC files, an existing model or a description of the task. You also specify the required result.
We review the available information and identify any missing data. We then agree on the scope of work, file formats, schedule and price.
We create the model from the ground up or rebuild the required elements in the agreed CAD environment. Any matters requiring additional information or a design decision are discussed with the client.
We prepare the agreed workshop and assembly drawings, element marks, material schedules and other required lists.
We deliver the files in accordance with the agreed scope and identify any limitations or matters requiring further verification.
Where the order includes CNC data, the files are checked according to the procedure agreed before production use.
We take into account the requirements for dividing structures into prefabricated elements, marking individual components and providing the information needed during production and assembly.
We can develop a model from the ground up or support your team during a selected stage of the project. The scope of documentation and the method of delivering data are agreed individually for each assignment.
We work with:
We undertake individual assignments and support client teams with selected stages of modelling, documentation and production preparation.
We work with companies in the Netherlands, Poland and other European countries. Communication and file exchange methods are adapted to the organisation of each project.
We use agreed tools for online meetings, file transfer and remote cooperation. Work within the client’s digital environment is carried out after the access conditions and rules for the use of data and software have been established.
Send us a description of the task and the files that can be made available for its completion.
Please indicate whether you require a new model, workshop documentation, CNC data or the reconstruction of an existing model in another CAD environment.
We will review the available information and determine the required input data, scope of work, schedule and quotation.
