Furniture / sawmill workshop design 15 × 30 m starting form
Work through the journey from boards and components to assembly and finished furniture. This open-front concept gives you editable benches, machine and storage envelopes for a practical workshop brief.

See what changes the steel quantity.
The range compares 4, 5, 6 bays at the same width, length, eave, roof, openings and selected sections. It describes those modelled arrangements; it is not an engineered minimum–maximum allowance.

End-wall framing is enabled, matching a fresh editor preset; modelled end posts are included where walls are clad. This is net frame, secondary-member and plate mass. Procurement waste, cladding, civil works, furnishings and equipment loads remain separate. No price, safe capacity or design approval is inferred.

The 3.0 m central stripe is a planning reserve, not an approved exit route or vehicle swept-path result. Equipment is generic; confirm capacity, service clearances and actual loads separately.
Questions, answered.
A closer look at the furniture / sawmill workshop concept, its editable inputs and the decisions that belong in a project-specific design.
What are the starting dimensions of the furniture / sawmill workshop?
The preset starts at 15 m wide by 30 m long, with a 5 m eave and 5 bays along its length. You can edit these dimensions. They describe a concept starting form, not an operating capacity or approved structural design.
Does this model include a complete woodworking line?
It represents generic workstations and storage rather than a selected machine line. Enter real machine dimensions, infeed and outfeed space, operator access and maintenance clearances.
Are sawdust extraction and fire precautions calculated?
They are outside the spatial preset. Define the materials, machinery and finishing activities so extraction, ventilation, electrical and fire measures can be designed for the project.
Can I add a separate finishing area?
You can plan a partitioned zone, but coating storage, ventilation, process separation and applicable requirements need specialist review. A visible partition does not establish a suitable finishing room.
How do I allow for long boards and large furniture?
Place envelopes for incoming stock, machine feed paths and finished pieces. Check the entire movement route through openings and between workstations rather than relying only on the shed's overall width.
