TRUSSES SAVE MONEY
Because costs are known in advance, there’s no guesswork. Your site erection time is greatly reduced and dollar losses from job site material shortages and pilferage are eliminated.
TRUSSES ARE RELIABLE
Every truss has been individually designed and that design is checked and approved by licensed engineers for structural adequacy.
TRUSSES ARE VERSATILE
Trusses provide more designflexibility, inside and out, than conventional framing. Offering numerous custom design options, our trusses present an economical and structurally superior method for rapid results.
Advantages of Trusses Over Conventional Framing
For Architects & Developers
1.
Savings in design costs-one basic structural design for shell with minor floor plan variations
2.
Better project cost control, with component costs known in advance and faster shell completion time
3.
Better cash flow with earlier occupancy due to reduced on-site labor
4.
Using trusses of smaller dimension lumber, in place of beams and columns
5.
Greater flexibility in locating plumbing, duct work, and electrical wiring
6.
Floor plan freedom in locating interior partitions often without additional support required
