Parametric planning and scripting

At Blumer Lehmann, we offer specialized expertise in parametric planning, parametric scripting and 3d-modelling for a wide range of projects. Whilst we are best known for free-from timber, we are also keen to help you with any other complex structure that requires advanced modelling techniques, in any material. Our consultancy services address complex geometry challenges with tailored engineering and design solutions. Whether you're exploring early contractor involvement (ECI) or need specific project support, we provide high-quality service without obligating you to build with us.

Our team has successfully completed projects like the Golf Club House and St. Regis Red Sea Resort, continually enhancing our skills to address new challenges in intricate design and construction.
