Trimble brings streamlined workflows for light metal framing

Trimble is delighted to once again be exhibiting at Offsite Expo (Stand F16), where the technology provider will be showcasing its range of advanced software solutions and streamlined ‘design to manufacture’ workflows for light metal framing and precast concrete.

Offsite Expo 2024 will be taking place at the Coventry Building Society Arena on 17 – 18 September, offering visitors a chance to see an expanded range of offsite systems and technologies, including the widest display of new and innovative applications for the built environment.

As well as showcasing its Tekla software tools and features available for the whole design to fabrication workflow, including the Volumetric Module Tool and Crane Layout Tools available within Tekla Structures, Trimble is proud to also be exhibiting alongside long-standing partner Howick, the light steel-roll forming machinery innovators. With the first iteration of tools offering Howick connections and Howick machine exports developed for Tekla Structures in 2009, there have been several updates since, introducing new components that support light metal framing manufacturers with automated manufacturing processes.

Visitors to the Trimble stand will also be able to learn about its full suite of software and hardware solutions underpinning the 'design to manufacture' workflows, including its MEP design and estimation software and project management software, which is focussed on improving collaboration, field operations and data capture.

Craig Johnson, Field Sales Representative - New Accounts at Trimble spoke about the upcoming event, saying: “We’re very excited to be returning to Offsite Expo for another year. It’s such a key date in the construction calendar and a great opportunity to showcase how our range of software, tools and features can support detailers and manufacturers with enhanced collaboration, automated manufacturing processes and streamlined workflows from design to manufacture and office to field.

“Understandably, given the challenges facing the wider industry, collaboration, productivity, waste reduction, accuracy and sustainability are all key factors for today’s offsite construction sector – and we believe our software can facilitate this.”

Trimble is committed to developing technology, software and services that drive the digital transformation of construction, with solutions that span the entire architecture, engineering and construction industry. Empowering teams across the construction lifecycle, Trimble’s innovative approach improves coordination and collaboration between stakeholders, teams, phases and processes.
