Wood/Metal Framing

AEODC provides Wood and Metal Framing Services to develop accurate BIM models, framing layouts, and fabrication-ready shop drawings for timber and light-gauge steel framing systems. Using Revit and specialized framing add-ins, we help contractors, fabricators, and engineers improve coordination, prefabrication, and on-site installation for residential, commercial, and modular construction projects.

Our Wood & Metal Framing Process

Our team uses advanced Revit framing add-ins to automate framing layouts, generate wall panels, and extract fabrication-ready shop drawings. This streamlines prefabrication, reduces manual effort, and accelerates on-site installation.

Our Wood & Metal Framing Process:

  • Identification of all wall and floor types per assembly
  • Based on wall type information, framing templates are finalized, followed by wall panel creation
  • In each template, data specific to placement of studs or joints is incorporated
  • Post wall panel creation, each wall panel shop drawing is extracted with schedule

Our BIM-based framing models help identify clashes between framing and MEP systems early in the design phase, allowing required openings and modifications to be incorporated before fabrication and installation.

FAQs

What are Wood and Metal Framing Services?
Wood and Metal Framing Services involve creating detailed BIM models and construction drawings for light-gauge steel framing, structural steel framing, timber framing, and prefabricated framing systems.

Why is BIM-based framing modeling important?
BIM-based framing models improve design coordination, fabrication accuracy, clash detection, material estimation, and construction efficiency.

Can you create framing models from architectural and structural drawings?
Yes. We develop accurate wood and metal framing models from architectural plans, structural drawings, PDFs, CAD files, and BIM models.

What deliverables are included in framing services?
Typical deliverables include 3D BIM models, framing layouts, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, panel drawings, quantity takeoffs, and construction documentation.

Why outsource Wood and Metal Framing Services to AEODC?
AEODC delivers precise framing models, fabrication-ready drawings, experienced BIM professionals, and cost-effective solutions that help reduce errors, improve coordination, and accelerate project delivery.
