Load-Bearing Glulam Structures for Individual Projects
We manufacture beams, trusses and arches with complex geometry, maintaining dimensional accuracy and quality control throughout production.
Manufacturing
The manufacturing process is organised as a single production sequence, from timber drying and preparation to final machining, installation of embedded components and surface finishing. Each operation is checked for parameters that affect the geometry, strength and service life of the finished products.
Manufacturing Process
Glulam manufacturing follows a sequential process, with key parameters checked at every stage. All operations are carried out in accordance with the project documentation and specified tolerances.
Key manufacturing stages:
• Timber drying
• Calibration, grading and finger-jointing
• Bonding into glulam members
• Final calibration
• Installation of embedded components
• Surface finishing

Design and Engineering
We work with structural design documentation and detailed drawings for glulam structures, supporting their accurate implementation in manufacturing. Solutions take manufacturing technology, tolerances and installation requirements into account.
Design work includes reviewing structural geometry, connections and loads. Where appropriate, we propose technical options for connection details and adapt the project to manufacturing constraints without changing the structural calculation scheme.

Engineering Partnership
For projects involving complex geometry, Lesmarket collaborates with Neformat Engineers, partners in algorithmic design, digital manufacturing and robotics.
For a decorative glulam column developed jointly, Lesmarket manufactured the glulam blank. The complex surface geometry was machined using a robotic milling machine located at Neformat Engineers’ facility.

Our Engineering and Manufacturing Strengths
-
Designed Around the Project
We adapt manufacturing processes to project-specific geometry, connections and tolerances without simplifying the structural design. -
Geometric Accuracy
Multi-stage calibration and process checks help keep components within project dimensions and support accurate assembly on site. -
Quality Checks at Every Stage
We check timber moisture, geometry, adhesive bonds and connection interfaces to help prevent discrepancies during installation. -
Prepared for Installation
Embedded parts, connections and surface treatment are completed at our production facility, reducing the amount of work required on site. -
Complex Geometry
Our production process supports structures with complex forms, non-standard spans and project-specific connections. -
Engineering Support
We coordinate with designers and contractors at each project stage to support predictable implementation.
