vaulted roof

Many of our house models feature vaulted roof constructions, giving your home an open and spacious design.

Load-bearing ridge beam

See exactly how and where to install your load-bearing ridge beam, which supports the span of the roof structure.

SketchUp structural post

Load-bearing posts

Have a clear overview of your building's load-bearing posts and stay ahead with their prefabrication in the workshop.

Constructive protection:

All house models feature raised posts above the ground, as previously described with post base. This ensures protection against rot and extends the lifespan of the structure.

Timber Frame

Start your project with a complete overview of all timber constructions, explore everything in SketchUp, and plan your next house project.

Build your interior walls with precision

For the house models with interior partition walls made of drywall, the underlying stud construction is vertical, which is also the most commonly used method.

Stick frame for gypsum walls

For the models with timber panel walls, all models feature a horizontal stud construction, making the wall installation quick and easy.

Stick frame for wood panel walls

See the installation layer in your model, which consists of 45×45 mm battens mounted horizontally across your exterior wall’s stud construction. This layer is highly practical, as your plumber and electrician can run pipes and wires without damaging the vapor barrier.
