What “Made to Measure” Means at Eurodita
Made-to-measure manufacturing at Eurodita goes beyond simple dimension adjustments to catalogue models. It represents full custom production capability where every structural element is engineered to exact partner specifications. This distinction matters for B2B partners whose customers present requirements that catalogue buildings cannot satisfy.
The scope of made-to-measure capability includes:
- Any dimension within structural engineering limits — length, width, height, and eave specifications tailored to the project
- Any floor plan layout — room configurations, partition placement, and spatial arrangements designed for the intended use
- Any wall thickness from the full production range: solid log (19, 28, 34, 44, 58, 70mm) and glulam (70, 88, 135, 180, 220mm)
- Any window and door configuration — placement, sizing, and style selections matched to the design
- Any roof pitch and style — apex, pent, dual-pitch, or asymmetric configurations
- Integration with partner specifications — structures designed to meet specific building regulations, site constraints, or customer requirements
The Made-to-Measure Process
Step 1: Brief Submission
The process begins when a partner submits a design brief. Eurodita accepts briefs in multiple formats: architect drawings (DWG, PDF), hand sketches, photographs of reference buildings, verbal descriptions, or any combination. The brief should include target dimensions, intended use case (garden office, residential dwelling, holiday accommodation), preferred wall thickness, and any site-specific constraints such as planning restrictions or access limitations.
Step 2: Technical Drafting (24-48 Hours)
Eurodita’s engineering team converts the brief into production-ready technical drawings using AutoCAD and HSB CAD software. This phase includes structural calculations to verify load-bearing capacity, material optimisation to minimise waste while maintaining structural integrity, and identification of any engineering considerations the partner should be aware of. The 24-48 hour turnaround applies to standard complexity projects; larger residential structures may require additional time.
Step 3: 3D Visualisation
Each made-to-measure project receives photorealistic 3D renders showing the structure from multiple angles. These visualisations are produced under the partner’s brand, ready for customer presentation. Renders include environmental context — landscaping, neighbouring structures, natural lighting — helping end customers understand how the building will appear on their site.
Step 4: Quote Delivery
The quotation package includes an itemised cost breakdown covering timber components, windows and doors, hardware, roofing materials, and delivery. Delivery timelines are specified based on current production scheduling. Payment terms follow the standard 50/50 structure. There are no hidden costs or supplementary charges added after quotation.
Step 5: Production
Once confirmed, production begins on the Hundegger CNC system with ±2mm cutting tolerance. Quality control checkpoints verify dimensional accuracy at cutting, assembly trial, and packaging stages. Each component is marked for assembly sequence, and comprehensive assembly documentation is included with delivery.
Made-to-Measure Applications
Partners most frequently use made-to-measure capability for projects where catalogue dimensions do not satisfy the requirement:
Irregular Plot Shapes: L-shaped, triangular, or narrow sites that require non-standard footprints. The structure is designed to maximise usable space within the available plot rather than compromising with a rectangular building that wastes site area.
Planning Permission Constraints: Local authority requirements for maximum ridge height, boundary setbacks, or roof style. Made-to-measure production ensures the structure complies with planning conditions from the engineering stage, avoiding costly modifications after delivery.
Specific Ceiling Heights: Commercial applications such as studios, workshops, or retail spaces often require ceiling heights that differ from standard residential specifications.
Accessibility Requirements: Structures designed for wheelchair access, level thresholds, wider doorways, or specific internal layouts to meet accessibility standards.
Integration with Existing Structures: Extensions, annexes, or buildings that must align with existing rooflines, wall heights, or architectural styles.
Commercial Specifications: Holiday park accommodation, glamping pods, office complexes, or retail buildings where the end-use defines specific dimensional and structural requirements.
Wall Thickness Options for Made-to-Measure
Every made-to-measure project benefits from Eurodita’s full wall thickness range, allowing partners to specify the appropriate construction for the intended use:
Solid Log Construction: Available in 19, 28, 34, 44, 58, and 70mm profiles. Suitable for garden buildings, storage structures, and seasonal-use accommodation. Each thickness is precision-cut on the Hundegger CNC system from Nordic spruce kiln-dried to 16-18% moisture content.
Glulam Construction: Available in 70×130, 88×260, 135×260, 180×260, and 220×260mm profiles. Engineered for residential-grade, year-round occupancy, and commercial structures requiring enhanced thermal performance and structural stability.
Double Wall Construction: Available in 138, 166, 188, and 216mm configurations. Provides insulation cavities for structures requiring superior thermal and acoustic performance.
Why Dealers Choose Made-to-Measure
Win Projects Competitors Cannot Fulfil: When a customer presents a non-standard requirement, the dealer who can respond with a detailed quote and 3D visualisation within 48 hours wins the project. Dealers limited to catalogue offerings lose these opportunities.
Higher Margins on Custom Work: Made-to-measure projects command premium pricing because the customer receives exactly what they need. The perceived value of a custom-engineered structure exceeds that of catalogue models, supporting healthier dealer margins.
Customer Loyalty: Delivering a made-to-measure structure builds stronger customer relationships. Satisfied customers return for additional projects and refer other buyers, creating organic growth for the dealer’s business.
Market Differentiation: In competitive markets, made-to-measure capability distinguishes a dealership from competitors who offer only catalogue selections. This positioning attracts customers with specific requirements who are willing to invest in tailored solutions.
Conclusion
Made-to-measure manufacturing is a core capability at Eurodita, not an add-on service. Partners have full access to custom production from their first order, with no minimum quantities and the same 50/50 payment terms that apply to catalogue orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes can Eurodita manufacture to order?
Eurodita can manufacture timber structures to any dimension within structural engineering limits. There are no fixed size constraints — the engineering team calculates load-bearing capacity and material requirements for each specification. This includes non-standard footprints such as L-shaped, triangular, or extra-wide designs.
How long does a made-to-measure quote take?
Standard made-to-measure projects receive a complete quotation package within 24-48 hours of brief submission. This includes technical drawings, 3D visualisations under the partner’s brand, and an itemised cost breakdown. Larger or more complex residential structures may require additional engineering time.
Is there a minimum order for custom-sized structures?
No. Eurodita has no minimum order quantity for made-to-measure production. Partners can order a single custom structure under the same terms and pricing methodology as larger orders. This allows dealers to serve individual customer requirements without batch commitments.
Can Eurodita work from architect drawings?
Yes. Eurodita’s engineering team accepts architect drawings in DWG, PDF, or printed format and converts them into full production specifications. The process includes structural calculations, material optimisation, and generation of CNC cutting files for the Hundegger system.
What is the lead time for made-to-measure production?
Made-to-measure structures in solid log construction typically require 4-8 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch. Glulam structures require 8-12 weeks due to the additional lamination and curing processes. These timelines include engineering, production, quality control, and packaging.
