Service
Structural design for carports, roof structures, walls and complete timber buildings. You do not just get drawings, you get the data your CNC joinery machine runs on.
How it works
You describe the project, I tell you honestly whether I am the right fit and roughly what it costs.
Survey on site or your documents. We settle the structural engineer's requirements, timber grades and connections.
The structure is built in the 3D model. You see an interim state before it goes into detailing.
Drawings, lists and cutting data. I answer questions from the workshop until the timber is through the machine.
Frequent questions
Tell me the make and type of your CNC joinery machine and the format your workshop reads. I set the design up accordingly, so nothing has to be reworked on the shop floor.
No, I design to the requirements of your structural engineer. If you do not have one yet, I am happy to put you in touch. Drawings for building permits are not part of the service either, that is the architect's work.
A carport is designed through in a few days, a complete roof structure takes longer. After the first conversation you get a firm date, not a guess.
Yes. Walls, floors and roofs in cross-laminated timber are designed just like timber frame, with panel layout, connections and machining. The output follows the format your panel supplier or your machine requires.
Yes. Design work happens at the computer, so distance does not matter. I design for companies across Germany, in Austria and internationally on request. Only site surveys and site meetings are limited to the Bavarian Forest and the Passau area.
Call me. A short conversation about an awkward connection costs you nothing and often saves more than a full design job would earn.
