Successful timber projects start with accurate planning, detailed modeling, and practical engineering support. At Woodpecker, our in-house team works with specialty timber engineers to develop buildable timber framing and mass timber solutions for custom homes, commercial buildings, and institutional projects.
As a vertically integrated timber manufacturer, we connect design support, engineering coordination, drafting, and fabrication within one process. This helps improve communication, reduce delays, and ensure each timber package is designed for structural performance, architectural intent, efficient fabrication, and smooth installation.
Before production begins, working drawings are reviewed and approved by both our engineering team and the client, so details are confirmed before any timber is cut.
When possible, we begin with detailed on-site measurements using a total station to ensure timber frame and mass timber components fit existing site conditions. If site measuring is not possible, we work from client-supplied architectural drawings and carefully verify details before production.
Using Cadwork 3D drafting software, we create detailed digital models of each timber structure. These models integrate with Cambium software and our Hundegger ROBOT-Drive CNC machine, allowing design details to move directly from model to precision-cut timber components.
Accurate drawings, detailed 3D models, pre-fit assemblies, and CNC-fabricated timber packages help reduce on-site errors, speed up installation, and keep projects aligned with schedule and budget goals.
Collaborate with our timber design engineering experts to bring your vision to life.
From initial sketches to technical drawings and 3D models, we make sure every detail works—both on paper and in practice. Below, you’ll find answers to common questions about our design and engineering process.
