Everything needed to design in timber.
Open.
Product sheets, details, BIM families and calculation criteria, together with what we publish about the system. The library opens in stages: this is what is coming.
Product technical sheets
CLT and GLT: composition, strength classes, thicknesses, finishes and conditions of use.
Construction details
Floor, wall, foundation, roof and facade junctions, editable to incorporate into the practice's documentation.
BIM library
Parametric families and objects to work with the system from the model.
Pre-design guide
Pre-sizing tables by span and live load to resolve the schematic design without waiting for engineering.
Calculation and verification criteria
Applicable standards, assumptions, coefficients and fire, vibration and acoustic verifications.
Specifications for tender documents
Text ready to incorporate into the design statement and tender specification.
Certifications and testing
Product certificates, test reports and traceability of timber origin.
Assembly and maintenance manual
Erection sequence, tolerances, protection during construction and maintenance in service.
Pre-sizing tool
Span, live load and typology as input; starting floor thickness and beam section as output.
Coming soonSchedule estimator
Floor area and programme against a typical engineering, fabrication and assembly schedule.
Coming soonCarbon calculator
Stored carbon and avoided emissions against an equivalent conventional structure, with the method declared.
Coming soonWe publish what we know, even when it is not yet closed.
Building with timber in Argentina is an industry in formation. Sharing the method is part of building it.
Structure and calculation
Modelling, vibration, connections, behaviour in service and code verification.
Fire
Charring, fire resistance and how it is documented before the approving authority.
Read the report: fire behaviour of CLT (in Spanish) →Acoustics and comfort
Insulation between units, impact noise and floating floor solutions on CLT.
Carbon and life cycle
How stored carbon is measured, what an EPD says and what cannot be claimed yet.
Argentine regulation
Codes, insurance, financing and municipal approval of timber structures.
Industry and supply chain
Plantation forest, installed capacity, labour and the real state of regional Mass Timber.
One issue a month.
What we publish, what we learned on site and what moved in regulation. No corporate news.

The technical office handles enquiries from practices and structural engineers: modulation review, complex junctions, span verification or coordination with services.
