For manufacturers and builders

Shop drawings and CNC files for timber house manufacturers

SIP, timber frame, log cabin and modular buildings. We prepare shop drawings, panel layouts, cutting lists and, if needed, files for your machines. You manufacture, we draw.

  • Files to suit your machines and software
  • Documents with your brand, in your clients' language
  • We make and sell SIP cabins ourselves – we know what production needs

Who we work for

Who we work with

House and cabin manufacturers

Shop drawings and machine files for every model you make – from a garden cabin to a family home.

SIP panel manufacturers

Wall and roof panel layouts, cutting plans and panel lists for your clients' projects.

Prefab and modular home factories

Shop drawings for elements and modules, kit lists and prefab pack lists.

Builders and contractors

Structural and assembly drawings, details and material quantities before construction.

Retailers and distributors

Catalogue drawings, 3D models and assembly instructions for your buyers in their language.

Architects

Structural and production drawings based on your architectural design.

Services

What we prepare for production

You can order a full package for one model or only what your production is missing – e.g. just machine files from your existing drawings.

01

Shop drawings

Drawings of wall, floor and roof elements with all dimensions, openings and connections. Every element has a number and a position in the building.

02

SIP panel layouts and cutting plans

Every SIP panel: size, notches, openings, number. Cutting plans based on your sheet format – less waste and less manual work.

03

Machine files

If your production needs them – machining files for beams, log wall boards or panels (e.g. BTLx, DXF), matched to your equipment.

04

Part and cutting lists

Every part with its cross-section, length and machining – in Excel / CSV, suitable for suppliers, the warehouse and production.

05

Prefab packs and kit lists

Prefab pack drawings: what goes onto each pallet or truck, how much and in what order.

06

Assembly instructions

Step by step with 3D views – so your clients or installers can assemble without questions.

07

3D models and catalogue material

Interactive 3D models for your website, drawings and visualisations for sales.

08

Material quantities and cost price

Material quantities down to the screws for each model – making cost prices and pricing easier.

09

Documents in your clients' language

Drawings and instructions in the language your clients need – with your logo.

File formats

Machine files – in your format

We prepare the files your machines and software need. All files are generated from one project model at the same time, so lists, drawings and CNC files always match.

By structure type

Which files you need depends on the building and your production

  • BTLx
    Mostly for log cabins and beam machining: cuts, notches, joints, drilling. It is imported by Hundegger, Weinmann and other beam processing lines.
  • DXF
    When panels (SIP, OSB, CLT) are cut on CNC machines: outlines, openings and cut-outs. If SIP panels are cut by hand, PDF panel layouts are enough.
  • Excel / CSV
    Part and cutting lists, material quantities (BOM) – for all structure types.
  • PDF
    Drawings, SIP panel layouts, part sheets and assembly diagrams – for all structure types.
  • 3D model for the browser
    An interactive model you can send to a client or to installers.

Based on samples from your machine

We need 2–3 of your existing files from that machine

  • HOMAG woodWOP (MPR)
    For HOMAG and WEEKE CNC machining centres.
  • Biesse CIX, SCM XXL
    For Biesse and SCM CNC machines.
  • Weinmann WUP
    For timber frame wall, floor and roof element lines.
  • G-code
    Only for simple operations and based on your machine's post-processor.

Via BTLx or DXF

Closed machine manufacturer formats

  • Hundegger (BVX)
    We supply BTLx – the machine software converts it to its own format (e.g. Hundegger Cambium).
  • Randek, MiTek
    We supply BTLx or DXF – the machine software converts it. This is also safer.

Before cutting – review in the machine software

A file can be in the right format and still be unsuitable for a specific machine: we cannot see your tools, zero point and limits. So before production every file is reviewed by the operator in the machine software (e.g. Hundegger Cambium, HOMAG woodWOP, Biesse bSolid). This is normal practice even with files from cadwork or hsbCAD.

  1. The file opens without errors
  2. The part on screen matches the drawing
  3. Simulation: tools, movements, no collisions
  4. First time – a test part from cheap material

Process

How we start working together

  1. 01

    Conversation

    What buildings you make, which machines and software you use, which language the documents need to be in.

  2. 02

    First model

    We start with one model: we prepare the documentation and files, you test them in production.

  3. 03

    Fine-tuning

    We adapt the format, numbering and sheet layout to your production.

  4. 04

    Full range

    We prepare the remaining models and new ones – to the same standard.

Why us

We draw the way we build

We make and sell SIP cabins in Lithuania and abroad ourselves, so our production documentation is not theoretical – we know what the machine operator, the warehouse and the installer need.

  • Production documentation for SIP, timber frame and log cabin buildings
  • Part lists for machines, assembly instructions with 3D views
  • Drawings in the language you need
  • We work with clients in Lithuania, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Ireland

Frequently asked questions

Can you work from our existing drawings or an architect's design?

Yes. From your plans and sections we prepare shop drawings, panel layouts, part lists and machine files.

Which file formats do you supply?

It depends on the building and your machines. PDF, Excel / CSV and a 3D model – for all structure types; BTLx – mostly for log cabins; DXF – when panels are cut on CNC machines. HOMAG, Biesse, SCM, Weinmann formats and G-code – based on 2–3 sample files from your machine. For Hundegger, Randek and MiTek machines we supply BTLx or DXF, and the machine software converts it to its own format.

Can the files go straight to the machine?

Before production every file must be reviewed in your machine software and simulated – we cannot see your machine's tools and settings. The first time, we recommend cutting a test part. After that, a quick review is enough.

Can the documents carry our logo?

Yes. Drawings, instructions and 3D models can carry your brand – your clients will only see you.

Which languages do you prepare documents in?

In the language you or your clients need.

How is the price calculated?

By the number of models and the parts required. We send a quote for the first model, and for ongoing work – a separate quote for the whole range.
