Hi Marcos, MoI would be good for the early modeling stages where you create the initial surface forms. But you'll need to bring that surface data into another program that can handle doing further processing of those surfaces into panels for construction.
Probably the easiest other program to use for this step would be Rhino - there is a PanelingTools plug-in for Rhino to convert a surface into panels: http://en.wiki.mcneel.com/default.aspx/McNeel/PanelingTools.html
It is very easy to move your surface data from MoI into Rhino - both programs actually share the same file format and you can even copy and paste back and forth. So I think that the combination of MoI + Rhino should be able to handle this task well.
You may want to contact McNeel to get more details on their paneling tools and to see if it will do the job you need.
