From Concept to Cornerstone: The Making of PAMIR
PAMIR isn’t just software, it’s the result of more than 20 years of dedicated development, technical breakthroughs, and collaborative teamwork. Built by MiTek’s expert engineers across EMEA, PAMIR has grown into one of the most advanced, fully integrated design platforms in the timber engineering world.
This film explores PAMIR’s development journey — from the earliest lines of code to the powerful whole-house design capabilities it delivers today. At its core is a mission that has never changed: to simplify and elevate structural design through flexibility, automation, and seamless integration.
Inside the Story:
- How PAMIR evolved from a bold idea into a market-leading design solution
- The early technical challenges, including the breakthrough moment of plane solving
- How customer insight and feedback shaped development at every stage
- The importance of team collaboration across MiTek’s global development network
- The next frontier: whole-house design, offsite integration, and AI-powered automation
A Vision Brought to Life
While PAMIR is the result of collective innovation, it began with the vision of one developer. Mats Hofverberg, who led its creation for over two decades, helped establish the foundation that the broader team continues to build on today. His passion for precision, user empowerment, and real-world utility still echoes throughout the platform.
Where we are now
With over 3,300 users designing nearly 1 million projects each year, PAMIR is at the heart of modern housebuilding. From trusses and Posi-Joist floors to detailed wall assemblies, PAMIR enables faster workflows, fewer errors, and smarter collaboration.
And the journey isn’t over. As the platform evolves to support complete whole-house design, MiTek’s commitment remains clear: to deliver the best-in-class tools the industry needs to build better — now and in the future.

Mats Hofverberg has given 22 years to PAMIR, taking it from a bright idea to the industry’s most refined design package. Today, more than 3,300 people rely on his creation every month to simplify their work and every year nearly 1 million projects are created in PAMIR. It’s a testament to the lasting impact of innovation, and dedication, and what truly great software can achieve in advancing an industry.
