Technology and software for log builders
 Bringing Finnish log expertise and heritage to everyone through customisations, smart workflows, and integrations. We work with timber industry pros to improve construction workflows.
Log building exists around the world: here in Finland, we have a long heritage of combining timber building with technology. We understand the end-to-end lifecycle of building with logs and mass timber. Our software knowledge helps you every step of the way: from initial models to CNC output.

MODELLING PHASE
BIM for log homes
We know that creating great modern log homes is about having great modelling software. We work with bespoke Archicad timber BIM software like ArchiFrame and ArchiLogs, but can work with pretty much any CAD or BIM program.
Making log construction easier
Model your timber products accurately
Create custom corners and joins
Share data via integrations
Impact across the log building lifecycle
Whether you are running a highly automated production line, or have a more traditional approach to joinery and carpentry, we work with log builders around the world with different needs and requirements.
Log modelling
LOG CREATION
Converting 2D images into 3D logs
We work with software that makes creating logs easier by breaking down individual logs into precise geometric objects.Â
ArchiLogs is the ideal software for log manufacturing and construction, integrating with Archicad and framing software, ArchiFrame.
- Log objects
- Automated drawings
- CNC output
- Can be modified to your production line.

Our long-term BIM project is an innovative case study in log construction.
Our BIM team in a nutshell
Helping you make the most out of your software
Customisations, maximising automation: there are many ways we can improve your experience of log construction software.
Log profiles and machining
LOG PROFILES
Notches, drillings, and cuts
We can customise interlocking corner joints and log notches to match your models. We can customise your drillings as well, and help with sawing or cutting logs to length or shape.
special machinings
Manufacturing proprietary timber
Manufacture your timber products with ease: we know that the timber material is part of your IP and we’ll take it seriously.
Log profiles and custom machinings
Custom corner joints
Have the correct joints to create custom corners; whether it’s dovetail or mitred corner joint: we have you covered.Â
Drillings types
Include factory specifications drillings for better log specifications. Match exact drill bits with drillings.
Special machinings and log IDs
Help control and manage special machinings, dowels etc. Assign log IDs automatically to help manage workflows.
Creating the ideal workflow
Integrate log or timber products and processes into your software so that you can build faster. Ensure tight-fitting joints, especially in handcrafted or complex log profiles.
CNC output
CNC OUTPUT
Design to CNC production - seamlessly
CNC systems integrate with CAD/CAM software and BIM platforms, making your log home building into an all-in-one system.
CNC machines and cut saws come in different shapes and sizes, so we ensure that each notch, cut, and drilling is executed with millimetre-level accuracy. Work with us for a direct translation from design to production.

Log data and integrations
LOG DATA
Quantity takeoff, automation & integrations
Take your log construction projects to the next level with an advanced log building toolkit, combining digital quantity takeoff, automated layout generation, and real-time updates and design adjustments
Eliminate guesswork and reduce waste. Our intelligent system calculates exact log lengths, notches, drillings, and cuts, ensuring your material planning is always spot on. From CNC-controlled cutting to automated layout generation, our tools simplify complex tasks and accelerate production.
Connect your workflow. Whether you’re syncing with CAD tools, project management software, ERPs/CRMs, or CNC machinery, our platform integrates smoothly into your existing ecosystem.

PRODUCTION
Software gains on the construction site
The benefits of better log building software can be seen right up until the final moments of assembly. Every component processed through CNC is uniform and better data integration means no nasty surprises.
- Predictable assembly on-site
- Less human error
- Higher client satisfaction and fewer warranty issues.
