Case Study: BoKlok achieves sustainable, low-cost homebuilding with hsbcad

Boklok - Customer Case Study

BoKlok, a sustainable housing venture created by IKEA and Skanska, faced the challenge of building quality, low-cost homes while minimizing its environmental footprint. To address this, the company turned to the design and manufacturing solutions from vendor hsbcad to adopt Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) principles.

By utilizing hsbcad's tools, including hsb RoofElement, FloorElement, Timber, and StickFrame, BoKlok shifted much of its construction work into a factory-controlled environment. This hsbcad solution enabled the company to drastically reduce on-site work and material waste. The results were significant: BoKlok now recycles over 99% of its leftover materials and has achieved a carbon footprint that is less than half that of standard building projects.
