One piece of software to design and model a whole house in 3D. The future is PAMIR AWP.
Graham Daniels, our Head of Offsite Solutions, joins us to reveal the next big step in MiTek’s digital evolution. Most importantly, what does it mean for our clients?
PAMIR, our roof truss and Posi-Joist design software package, has led the field for years. Now, after deep discussion with our long-term clients, we’re proud to announce that more is on the way.
PAMIR is fusing with WoodEngine, our timber frame detailing software, to create PAMIR AWP (Advanced Wall Panel):
- One software package designs and models a full house in 3D
- Building information modelling (BIM) integration is being expanded
- Everything runs independently on secure MiTek code, no extras needed
- All the quality, flexibility, speed, and accuracy you expect from PAMIR are still right here
And of course, the key is that we’re not selling software in a vacuum. PAMIR AWP is being developed by MiTek’s design, manufacturing, and building experts alongside our trusted industry partners. It’s built for the realities of the UK construction sector.
So, at a time when the industry is embracing offsite construction, PAMIR AWP’s streamlined design is satisfying that growing appetite. As more businesses talk about scaling supply chain and production capacity, we’re letting you do the same thing with design.
It’s an important next step in our Design, Make, and Build methodology here at MiTek to bring new technology forward in software, offsite manufacturing automation and engineered connections.
Crafting the right tool for the job
This new package adds timber frame detailing to PAMIR’s powerful layout, engineering, output, and 3D design capabilities. Used internationally, informed by thousands of projects and 30 years’ customer support experience, it’s now changing the game once again.
Having one unified design package unlocks faster training and unprecedented efficiencies. It’s the natural progression of the software that’s already letting more people work with speed, accuracy, flexibility, and quality.
Speed
Streamline your workflow and save significant amounts of time by directly importing IFC, .dwg, and .pdf files. PAMIR’s full building load transfer takes care of critical studs, while ensuring that the structural analysis is compliant with the latest Eurocodes.
Accuracy
When there’s zero margin for error, PAMIR AWP’s intuitive 3D view gives you a fuller perspective on your work. By seamlessly blending BIM models from multiple disciplines, designers can meticulously detail timber frames with pinpoint accuracy.
Flexibility
Work the way you want to, with deep customisation of settings and preferences. Create any kind of wall, roof or floor design with automatic framing and manual editing capabilities.
Quality
By integrating cutting-edge CAD tools with highly automated outputs, designers can allocate more of their time to what they do best. Additionally, our mobile 3D viewer empowers designers to effortlessly share their designs with anyone, while the ease of editing allows them to stay ahead of revisions.
Prepare for the future of construction technology
In recent years, we have witnessed a significant transformation in our conventional customer base, with a growing adoption of MMC and wall, floor, and roof panels.
The complexity of these systems has also grown with the emphasis on thermal performance, and demand to accommodate mechanical ventilation within floors. Alongside this health and safety regulations have seen panelised floor and roof systems become more prevalent, so developing a new software solution that seamlessly brings all these components together under one roof, has been vital.
With the increasing adoption of MMC by home builders, there is also a growing demand for interoperability. Current framing software solutions on the market are unable to keep up with this level of investment. PAMIR has proven to be truly ground-breaking for roof and floor design, now it is time for wall panels.
Testing with a hand-picked group of longstanding MiTek clients is already underway, part of a continuous development and support roadmap. Stay tuned for more details of how to streamline your work with PAMIR AWP.
