Overcoming Site & Structural Constraints

The Engineering & Logistical Challenge

Strict Bavarian snow load regulations (Schneelastzone 3, sk = 3.5 kN/m²) and stringent German building authority scrutiny (Prüfstatiker verification) required rigorous structural verification without allowing bulky heavy columns.

The SerVilla Pre-Engineered Steel Solution

SerVilla engineered cold-formed double C-studs and multi-ply steel roof trusses in Vertex BD with finite-element node verification. The complete prüffähige statische Berechnung was approved by the German Prüfstatiker without revisions on first submission.

International Freight & Customs Route
Direct factory dispatch from Gebze in a standard European Planen-LKW mega-trailer. Border clearance at Kapıkule under A.TR certificate ensured 0% customs duty. The cargo arrived in Garmisch-Partenkirchen within 5 days with zero transshipment damage.

Milestones & Schedule

Step-by-Step Project Execution Log

From initial 3D BIM engineering in Istanbul to jobsite handover in Garmisch.

Week 1–2 1

Prüffähige Statik & Thermal Bridge Analysis

3D FEA structural analysis strictly formatted to DIN EN 1993-1-3 and DIN EN 1991. Cold bridge elimination analysis for German GEG 2024 compliance and approval by local Prüfstatiker.

Week 3 2

CNC Precision Roll-Forming & Factory Bundling

Heavy gauge S350GD structural profiles manufactured on CNC roll-formers with 0.5 mm tolerance. High alpine heavy trusses bundled and labeled for sequential unloading.

Week 4 3

Direct Mega-Trailer Transit to Bavaria

Dispatched under A.TR movement certificate (0% duty). 5-day direct road transit across Austria into Upper Bavaria directly to the building plot.

Week 5–6 4

Structural Frame Assembly & Quality Sign-Off

Erection completed in 11 days by local Zimmerer carpentry team under SerVilla on-site engineering supervision, ready for exterior wood-fiber WDVS.

Clear Responsibility Boundary

Scope Division on the Garmisch Project

Transparent delineation between factory-engineered elements and local on-site trade coordination.

Manufactured & Supplied by SerVilla

  • Complete S350GD+Z275 framing kit with heavy alpine roof trusses
  • Prüffähige statische Berechnung nach DIN EN 1993 & Fundamentlastenpläne
  • Specialized high-load hold-downs (Simpson Strong-Tie HTT/HDU) and anchor schedules
  • Cavity rockwool insulation and airtight vapor barrier membranes
  • Bilingual SerVilla field engineer for assembly oversight and Prüfstatiker handover

Executed by Client & Local Contractors

  • Baugenehmigung application through local German architect (Entwurfsverfasser)
  • Reinforced concrete foundation slab and frost apron (Frostschürze)
  • External thermal insulation composite system (WDVS) and larch cladding
  • Triple-glazed Passive House windows and geothermal heat pump system

As an architect in Bavaria, I was skeptical about importing light steel from Turkey. But SerVilla's statics package was more complete than what we usually get locally, and the dimensional precision was within 1 millimeter.

Case Study FAQs

Technical Questions About this Project

Frequently asked engineering, customs, and assembly questions regarding the Garmisch delivery.

Yes. The complete 3D FEA structural calculation was strictly prepared according to DIN EN 1993-1-3 with German National Annexes, including node stiffness proofs and foundation load reaction schedules, passing Prüfstatiker review on first submission.

SerVilla engineered doubled cold-formed C-profiles and triangulated web trusses with Simpson Strong-Tie high-capacity hold-downs, resisting 3.5 kN/m² snow loads without requiring bulky concrete columns.

By combining 140 mm dense mineral wool inside the stud cavity with 100 mm continuous external wood-fiber WDVS cladding, completely eliminating thermal bridging and achieving a certified U-value of 0.12 W/m²K.
