Elevate sustainable buildings with the Södra ProdLib, a digitised CLT

 Friday, May 30, 2025

Södra affords its cross-laminated timber (CLT) digitally through ProdLib, a comprehensive Revit and Archicad library. When developing sustainable buildings in Södra’s CLT, one can be confident that one’ll always have access to the newest and most efficient solutions due to the extensive selection of panels and features.

“Our free BIM library contains digital versions of our cross-laminated timber products, adjustable to your needs and perfect as a frame in many buildings. The tool helps you create the smartest model possible,” affirms Adam Kihlberg, Technical Business Development at Södra Building Systems.  

Benefits of Södra’s ProdLib library

• The frame’s CO2 footprint is disclosed in the bill of materials, which also makes it possible to minimise environmental impact by making thoughtful decisions early on.
• It is simple to maximise the use of CLT master panels thanks to the nesting function, which also lowers production waste and the final frame’s cost.
• Surface quality labeling makes it obvious whether panels should be visible or concealed.
• Exporting BIM objects to other programs, like hsbCAD, is made easier by simplified BIM objects.
• The hatch tool is a 2D hatching tool that makes creating details and sections easier.

The wood raw materials used to make Södra’s CLT come from family forestry’s responsibly managed southern Swedish forests. One must try the Södra library for oneself for an exquisite architectural experience! Together, Södra uses wood to construct sustainably.

About Södra 

On the premise that they are more powerful, Södra was established in 1938. With over 50,000 family forest owners as members, the organisation is currently the biggest forest-owner association in Sweden and a global leader in the conversion of forest raw materials into renewable products. Södra sees a supply of renewable raw resources, climatic advantages, long-term economic growth, and Swedish innovation that will only continue to expand, while others see just a forest.
