From design to reality: a comprehensive engineering approach
At Hupkes Wijma, we bring architectural plans to life. Our team combines cutting-edge technology with in-depth industry knowledge and experience to guide your project from initial idea to finished structure.
Advanced 3D modeling
Our skilled modelers create detailed 3D representations of wooden structures, providing:
- Clear visualisation of timber and connections
- Accurate material quantity estimates
- Precise dimensional accuracy for all components
This comprehensive modeling allows for great detail and captures your vision perfectly before construction begins.
A collaborative approach
Throughout the design and engineering process, we work hand-in-hand with:
- Architects and designers
- Contractors and builders
- Production teams
- Transportation specialists
- On-site assembly crews
- End users (maintenance advice)
Expert structural engineering
- Ensuring compliance with all relevant building codes and standards
- Integrating country-specific requirements while leveraging industry best practices and decades of experience
- Calculating optimal timber dimensions based on applied loads
- Determining appropriate connections (Timber connections like dovetails, mortise and tenons, if needed strengthen with steel parts and bolts, pins, etc.) for structural integrity
- Designing all details and connections to ensure longevity of the structures (dewatering holes, ventilated connections slopes, avoiding standing water, protection of the main load bearing structure, etc.)
This approach allows us to refine and engineer for an optimal final product, balancing aesthetics, functionality, and cost-effectiveness.
