The structural engineering and construction of timber projects are the supreme disciplines of Timber engineers. We construct and optimize the frame of apartment buildings, halls and bridges in highest perfection. Nowadays timber constructions can do everything that concrete buildings can. So, bring a timber engineer into your planning team as early as possible.
We would love to support you on your building project. Directly contact our experienced timber engineers.

In the building project phase, we establish the construction- and material concepts for your project. Thus, we approximately calculate and dimension all components. We examine various possibilities and present them to you and of course answer all your questions about timber engineering. As part of the project we usually issue the structure planning along with the verifications of proof in serviceability limit state, support security and durability.
Our engineers roughly model the frame in RSTAB and thus calculate the dimensions, deformations and bearing reactions. The column-based software RSTAB is perfectly suited for calculating and dimensioning most timber constructions in 2D and 3D. RFEM enables a rapid and simple modelling of structures and dynamic calculations.
For the building application we prepare all necessary forms. We put together the submission documents along the evaluation reports and compare the offers based on quality and quantity, standard prices, economics, structure, work organization, site facilities and deadlines. At the end of this phase we establish a report with all information from the comparison of tenders and placing propositions in the departments of structures, construction, fire protection and building physics.
In the execution planning phase, our technicians put together the construction documentation and draw up all necessary plans in 3D. The software in use is cadwork. All our technicians have long-term experience in the planning- and site aspect of timber constructions. Therefore, all our details are serviceable and apprehendable on site. If another company is providing those plans, we check them for compliance with our engineer guidelines.
During the execution phase, we supervise the site according to our regulations and check the use and processing of all building materials. We council architects and site managers and join, whenever necessary, the meetings. For closing the project, we collect all adjusted plans, schematics, and maintenance instructions and create a comprehensive documentation. We further refresh our plans according to the build project and adjust the terms of use wherever necessary.
