Wood Timber-Frame House Construction
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Please contact me only if you have demonstrable experience in the following areas:
-timber framing design
-modeling in Cadwork / SEMA / Dietrich’s / Vertex BD / hsbcad / AGACAD Wood Framing
-prefabricated panel generation (frames & trusses)
-cutting lists for C24 structural timber
-CNC export / production workflows
-structural calculations according to Eurocode 5 (SCIA / Advance Design / Tekla Tedds)
If you do not have direct experience with these technologies and processes, please do not send an email or proposal, to avoid wasting anyone’s time.
I am looking exclusively for professionals who can demonstrate similar completed projects.
Main objective
You must take my architectural plans and perform the panelization of the above-ground structure (walls, floors, roof), optimizing everything for transport and fast on‑site assembly (as a DIY on‑site project).
Technical and logistical requirements (what to consider)
• Modeling in dedicated software: You must work in one of the professional packages listed (Dietrich’s, SEMA, Cadwork, hsbcad, Vertex BD, AGACAD), because I need clean, aligned and precise part exports.
• Panelization (logistics): You will not design continuous walls. You must “break” them into prefabricated panels.
o Maximum panel dimensions: 4.00–5.00 m length/width and 2.70–3.00 m height (so they fit within a standard transport truck envelope).
o Structural symmetry: Pay attention to door and window openings. Position panel joints so openings fall as centrally as possible on panels (this avoids weakening panel edges and helps stiffen headers).
• Clear structural elements: The software you use must clearly output the load‑bearing studs (king & jack studs), sole/top plates, horizontal and transverse beams, and, separately, the roof package (roof structure).
Requested deliverables (what I want on the table and on the invoice)
I split the deliverables into two very clear steps because I want to pay only for what I need for a DIY execution:
Step 1: Modeling, Detailing & Quantities (CAD/CAM part)
• Trace the architectural plans into a 3D model.
• Automatically generate the timber skeleton according to the agreed panelization.
• Deliver the exact cutting list (Bill of Materials) as a file (Excel/PDF) containing:
o Exact lengths for each C24 timber piece.
o Total volumes broken down by section (for example: how many cubic meters of 45×145, how many of 45×195, etc.).
o Exact requirement for rigidizing boards of type DHF, formatted by standard board sizes.
Step 2: Engineering Structural Verification (FEA / Eurocode 5 part)
• Perform limit state checks (ULS and SLS) according to Eurocode 5 for timber class C24.
• Focus on the requested critical elements:
o Headers over large openings (doors, large living‑room windows).
o Floor beams with large spans (check deflection and vibration).
o Rafters and ridge beams / roof purlins.
