hsbCAD is the design tool of choice for Timberframe, SIPS Design, Log Homes and Modular home design. From the drawings created in AutoCAD or Architectural desktop, you are only a few mouse clicks away from creating all the fabrication drawings and details required for automated and non-automated manufacturing including CNC communication.

"...Having extensively researched the UK and US market for a software solution to produce drawings specifically for SIPS, we found hsbCAD. The hsbPANEL module offered by hsbCAD was designed specifically for the SIPS market in North America and Europe with many companies successfully using it ... with only a limited amount of training we successfully produced drawings for a large single story School in Dorset ... It also allowed us to increase our efficiency more than 80% by automating the production of drawings and schedules of material lists. Other benefits included a 2D nesting program allowing us to optimize our stock panels and minimize waste. Build It Green have recently set-up a new factory in Bournemouth which includes the latest in semi automated machinery to manufacture the SIP panels. It was essential that hsbCAD had the functionality for future CNC links to a variety of different machines. ... We have been using hsbCAD for a number of months and I would have no hesitation in recommending hsbCAD!" (James Dickinson, Managing Director from Build It Green Ltd, UK)
