Soukup - Framer Basic Wood House Technology

Soukup
A practical, low-investment entry point into off-site timber panel production. Designed for workshops starting out in prefabricated house construction, building up to around 10 houses per year.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery and timber frame workshops taking their first steps into off-site panel production who need a proven assembly system without a large upfront investment
  • Small construction firms or self-builders wanting to move panel assembly in-house for greater control over quality and programme
  • Established workshops trialling a second, lower-cost assembly station before committing to a higher-capacity table such as the Framer Profi or Framer Line

Key specification considerations

Target Production Capacity
Up to 10 houses per year
This is the practical ceiling for the Framer Basic; if your pipeline already exceeds this, the Framer Profi or Framer Line is worth discussing instead.
Gable Wall Extension
800 mm removable extension
The removable 800 mm crossbar extension lets you assemble oversized gable wall panels without a permanent footprint increase.
Base Frame Construction
Buyer-supplied timber base with Soukup Framer componentry
You provide the structural timber base to your own floor plan; Soukup supplies the precision Framer hardware — keeping the delivered cost low while the assembly accuracy remains consistent.
Panel Types Supported
All panel types (wall, ceiling, roof)

SpecificationValueNotes
Target Production Capacity
Up to 10 houses per year
Intended for start-up and small-volume operations; higher-volume producers should consider the Framer Profi or Framer Line.
Base Frame Supply
Buyer-supplied structural timber, per Soukup instruction manual
Sourcing the timber base locally reduces shipping weight and cost; Soukup provides full instructions.
Framer Hardware
Soukup-supplied modular Framer componentry
Gable Wall Extension
800 mm removable extension included
Allows assembly of wider gable panels without permanently extending the table footprint.
Panel Types
Wall panels, ceiling panels, roof panels

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Soukup - Framer Basic Wood House Technology if...

  • You are starting out in prefabricated panel production and want to minimise capital outlay while still using a properly engineered assembly system
  • Your projected output is up to 10 completed houses per year and you have workshop space to source and build the timber base structure yourself
  • You want to prove up panel production in-house before committing to a full production-line setup

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your output already exceeds 10 houses per year, or you expect it to quickly — the Soukup Framer Profi is built for higher-volume production lines and includes a full steel table structure with pneumatic clamps and pop-up rollers as standard
  • You need motorised panel-width adjustment or plan to run variable-width panels routinely — the Soukup Framer Line handles panel widths up to 4,260 mm with powered width setting
  • You are producing panels as part of a continuous production flow with overhead crane handling — the Framer Profi is designed specifically for crane-assisted operations and will integrate more cleanly into that workflow
