What our clients say

image-zimmerei-leiz-prefab-1

Accelerated production

"The SEMA program supports us incredibly well in our daily work — we draw every piece of wood and every component that we need for a project — so nothing can be forgotten during cutting, pre-assembly or on the construction site. Before we manufacture the wood, a machine simulation is carried out, so the entire processing strategy is checked again and adjusted if necessary. This means there are no delays in the production hall."

Martin Leiz (Snr)

Master Carpenter, Managing Director & Company Founder at Leiz

Optimised planning and order processing

"We have managed to ensure that the entire planning process that used to take place on the construction site, such as measuring, drilling holes or cutting slats, is now only carried out in-house.

Everything is drawn and precisely constructed in the SEMA program, then we cut all the parts on the CNC system. This optimization alone meant that we were able to significantly speed up the entire process."

Thomas Leiz

Master Carpenter and Roofer, Managing Director at Leiz

Dynamic design process

“Since it is possible to convert CAD lines into bending profiles, the components can be positioned directly at the desired point of use in the project. This further simplifies the design process. Furthermore, the newly developed combination spacing enables several components to be created at the same time during planning, making our entire design process even more dynamic."

SEMA Prefab

SEMA Prefab equips prefab building companies with a powerful, user-friendly software solution designed for precision and efficiency in timber construction. The integrated 3D visualisation feature allows you to enhance customer presentations by adding furnishings from an extensive component library. Enjoy smooth collaboration with other trades and specialists through bidirectional data exchange in formats like IFC and XML.

 

Easily handle complex designs using a clear and intuitive interface. The software supports detailed layering of wall, floor, and roof elements, automatic spacing for members and claddings, and provides a comprehensive library of fasteners and tiles, including all necessary substructures, to make planning easier.

 

Simplify your work preparation process with quick and accurate quantity surveying, giving you instant access to all necessary data for ordering, material planning, cost estimation, and more. Whether for manual assembly or machine production, this package is adaptable to your specific project requirements.
