BIM Frame House Design Services — Timber Frame & LGS (US/EU)
BIM frame house design services for timber frame houses and light gauge steel (LGS) structures: structural Revit frame house modeling, wall and truss layouts, shear walls and bracing, permit-ready drawings and fabrication documents. We offer transparent USD per-m² BIM pricing for EU baseline and USA, predictable budgets, and delivery from 5 to 40 business days depending on LOD level.
We design frame houses to Eurocode 5 for timber and IRC/IBC with ASCE 7 loads for US projects, with BIM models and sheet sets at LOD 300, LOD 350 and LOD 400. These frame house BIM services are suitable for both one-off homes and repeatable series designs.
BIM frame house design — transparent USD per-m² pricing
Two reference zones: EU baseline and USA. Per-m² rates cover BIM frame house design and documentation at LOD 300, LOD 350 or LOD 400. Final fixed quotes reflect drawings, code scope (Eurocode 5 or IRC/IBC with ASCE 7), chosen package and timeline. This keeps BIM frame house design pricing clear for both US and EU clients.
Packages & deliverables
- Starter — LOD 300 (permit-ready set, wall plans/elevations/sections, basic shear walls and bracing notes, frame house layouts for planning and approvals)
- Pro — LOD 350 (working drawings, shear wall and bracing layout, nailing and fastener schedules, BOQ for timber frame or LGS framing)
- Fabrication — LOD 400 (panel and truss shop drawings, unfoldings, cutting lists and CNC exports on request for frame house production)
Formats: RVT / IFC / DWG / PDF (A3/A1). USA frame house sets align with IRC/IBC and ASCE 7 wind, snow and seismic loads. EU sets align with Eurocode 5 and EN 1991 actions for timber structures and LGS frame systems.

FAQ — BIM frame house design
How is BIM frame house pricing calculated?
We use per-m² USD rates with three tiers: Starter (LOD 300), Pro (LOD 350) and Fabrication (LOD 400). EU baseline and USA rates reflect code scope, depth of BIM frame house design and documentation, and any add-ons such as MEP rough-ins, energy forms or PE/SE stamping.
Do you support Light-Gauge Steel (LGS) frame houses?
Yes. We design both timber frame and light gauge steel (LGS) frame house systems with wall and truss layouts, bracing and fastener schedules aligned to Eurocode 5 (timber) or IRC/IBC with ASCE 7 for US projects.
Are local codes included for the USA?
Yes. We align with IRC/IBC per state, and we consider wind, snow and seismic actions using ASCE 7. Local PE/SE stamping is available via partners as an additional service for permit submittals.
What do I get in the Fabrication (LOD 400) package?
You receive panel and truss shop drawings, unfoldings and fastener specifications, plus BOQ and lists. CNC exports (for example BTL/BTLx) can be generated on request to suit your timber or LGS supplier.
What are typical delivery times for a frame house?
For 80–250 m²: Starter (LOD 300) 5–10 business days, Pro (LOD 350) 15–25 business days, Fabrication (LOD 400) 25–40 business days. Two revision rounds per stage are included; we aim to answer RFIs within 48 hours.
Which formats do you deliver for frame house design?
We deliver Revit RVT models, IFC exchanges, DWG for coordination and PDF sheet sets (A3/A1). Tekla references and CNC exports can be added for manufacturers that require them.
