Developments in computational design methods and their integration with digital fabrication processes are ushering a customized fabrication paradigm. This paradigm is particularly suited to small self-built refurbishments, a diversified corpus in which interventions are surgical and unique, and where partition walls play a central role. Cork, OSB and plywood, natural and renewable materials, can have an important part in a material system that responds to this context. Cork re-Wall is a parametrically modelled construction system and a file-to-factory digital process with the aim to generate high quality custom solutions that respond to diverse refurbishment design challenges. In order to communicate the assembly sequence to and end user, without previous construction experience, a simple set of instructions must be prepared. This paper presents a process to automatically generate unique building instructions for each Cork Re-Wall solution.
