Structure Design & Detailing
Navigation
We provided Roof Trusses, Floor Trusses, Wall Panels, and LVL systems for single-family, multi-family, residential, and commercial construction projects.
Wood Detailing
Wood detailing is an important issue in preparing a building for construction. Proper detail planning assists designers greatly in reforming the building, as well as making the production and installation process much easier and neater. In the digital age, such planning is essential to enable the transfer of digital data to digital fabrication machines
Trusses
Trusses are a structural system that combines straight short elements grouped as nodes and edges to build a big, triangulated beam structure. These beam systems can support wide spans and heavy loads. It employs a variety of force transfer methods, including compression and tension, to provide the structure the ability to behave similarly to a beam. Trusses are typically used to lift the roofs of large span buildings, and they can also be seen in civil structures, particularly bridges
Joints
Wood details are used in all construction elements, from roofing to flooring, wall framing to cladding surfaces, thus it is critical to understand how these wood parts interact with other materials at corners, sides, and layers. The most significant aspect is how the wood interacts with other wood components from the same family. In this section, we are experimenting with how wood works in nodes. To clarify, nodes are points where wood members connect at the same origin. The plate method is the safest option, but cutting corners and defining angles is a difficult step, especially when working with remote parameters in design that drive sizes and angles up and down
Plates
Plates are steel pieces that reinforce connections between wooden parts. Using a number of bolts, and occasionally the angle of the steel plate.
FAQs:
Proper detailing ensures efficient construction, structural stability, and seamless fabrication with digital machines.
Yes, we design safe and precise joints and use steel plates for reinforcement to guarantee strength.
Definitely. We plan how wood interacts with steel, concrete, and other building materials to ensure a cohesive structure.

Cold-formed steel (also known as light gauge steel) is a versatile structural material shaped at room temperature, allowing precise, strong, and lightweight components ideal for modern construction. Unlike hot-formed steel, cold-forming doesn’t require heating the metal, which helps retain its high strength while lowering energy use and production costs.
Key Cold-Forming Methods
Forging
Applying controlled pressure through hammers or presses to shape steel components with accuracy and durability.
Rolling
Passing steel sheets through rollers to produce uniform, consistent profiles such as channels, angles, and tubes used in structural framing.
Stamping
Using dies and punches to cut and shape steel parts precisely, commonly applied for mass production of steel connectors and components.
Benefits of Cold-Formed Steel in Structural Design
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Cold-formed steel delivers strong structural components that are lightweight, making it easier to handle and install without compromising durability.
Precision and Consistency
The cold-forming process produces parts with tight dimensional tolerances, critical for steel framing systems and building assemblies.
Cost-Effective
Reduced energy consumption and less waste during manufacturing translate to lower costs for builders and developers.
Versatility
Used extensively in commercial buildings, residential housing, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects, especially for steel framing, roof trusses, wall panels, and bracing systems.
There are several methods that can be used for cold forming, including forging, rolling, and stamping. In forging, the material is shaped by applying pressure to it using hammers or presses. In rolling, the material is passed through a series of rollers to shape it. Stamping involves the use of dies and punches to shape the material.
Cold forming has several advantages over hot forming, including the ability to produce parts with high strength and precision, as well as reduced energy consumption and lower production costs. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, including automotive parts, aircraft components, and construction materials.
