Closing the Gap Between Design and Construction – Starting with Structural Wood Floor Systems

Structural wood floor systems are often defined too late—creating coordination risk, rework, added cost, and uncertainty. See how predictable, trimmable open-web systems help teams lock in layouts earlier, and build with confidence.

Design teams expect the Building Information Model to reflect real-world constructability, but structural wood floor systems are often defined late by manufacturers rather than building designers which creates a gap between design intent and construction reality.
This white paper explains why that gap exists and how coordination-ready structural wood floor systems help close it.

You'll learn:

  • Why traditional floor system workflows limit early-stage coordination
  • How predictable, trimmable open-web geometry enables MEP routing without field interpretation
  • What "coordination-ready modeling" means in practice
  • How to reduce late-stage surprises and costly rework


Whether you work in Revit or CAD, this paper delivers a direct look at how floor systems impact project efficiency and what it takes to design with confidence.
