Design Services
At Acorn Timber Engineering, we are experts in the design of timber structures, taking pride in delivering high-quality, cost-efficient engineering solutions for all sectors of the construction industry. We offer a comprehensive in-house design service tailored to suit any type of project, using the latest versions of MiTek Pamir and James Jones JJI Design software.
MiTek Pamir
Timber Design Software
MiTek Pamir is the industry-leading software for designing engineered timber structures, including roof trusses and Posi-Joists. Used by hundreds of manufacturers across Europe, it combines CAD, structural analysis, and 3D visualisation tools in one powerful platform.
Partnering with MiTek enables us to unlock the full potential of any project, allowing our expert team to bring more than 75 years of combined experience in timber engineering.
Design Process
Why Is MiTek Essential?
-
All-in-One Design Platform
Pamir allows us to design complete roof and floor layouts in a single project file. This ensures structural compatibility and streamlines the integration of various design elements, bringing your ideas to life with greater efficiency.
-
Interactive 3D Modelling
Visualising designs in 3D helps identify potential issues before they reach the site. We can also share interactive models with clients, architects, and contractors to support design discussions and improve on-site coordination.
-
Built-in Engineering Precision
With MiTek’s robust EC5 (Eurocode 5) engineering engine, all components are structurally sound and code-compliant. This guarantees that every design meets the latest building regulation standards.
Why We Choose
James Jones JJI Design Software
Our collaboration with James Jones & Sons was a natural choice. Their JJI Design software provides a straightforward and intuitive interface for I-joist layouts, backed by powerful features that simplify complex engineering challenges.
-
Smart Integration with 3D & BIM Models
We can easily import and export 3D and BIM models, enabling clash detection within floor zones and pinpointing requirements for service holes ideal for plumbing, electrics, and HVAC planning.
-
Design Accuracy
The software ensures every joist layout is precisely engineered to meet your project’s structural and regulatory needs, helping deliver the best possible solution every time.
