OAK FRAME DESIGN
Archicad.
The Oak Frame Carpentry Company has access to a unique piece of design software that revolutionised the way it was possible to use Archicad.
Framewright was developed specifically with timber frame design in mind and its functionality for the task is second to none. It allows our design team to quickly model and price new designs.
Beautiful 3D visualisations of the frame
Framewright produces beautiful 3D rendering both for clients, planning officers and the carpenters in the workshop, the 3d model views give an instant understanding of the form, and the opportunities of the spaces.
Accurate 2D workshop drawings
Each section and elevation is a slice through the same model – this effectively eliminates the possiblilty of drawings not fitting together due to drafting errors.
Full cutting list
All the timbers are measured and listed by size and type – again, each timber is guaranteed to be accounted for. Nothing is missed out.
Full and accurate pricing
Once the timbers have been assembled, each one has an allocation of workshop time for each specific joint. When the data is collated, the full workshop hours are counted, along with additional information of volume, weight, surface area, number of pegs, longest members etc.
This information is analysed to produce a price for the frame.
This software continues to be updated and added to, as the small group of specialist users works closely with the software designer.
