TRUSS AND EWP DESIGN

Our innovative component designs and systems are a reliable and value-add solution for builders. Offering many advantages, roof and floor trusses add efficiencies to the framing process. In addition, our line of EWP (Engineered Wood Products) can help alleviate labor issues and reduce build time. We also offer in-house structural design services to assist during the design process.

AN EFFICIENT METHOD FOR TODAY'S BUILDER

We provide a structured approach in framing from estimating to design to all the way through the construction phases. The service team specializes in components including roof and floor trusses, wall panels, and designed wood floor and roof systems. Our specialists will also troubleshoot plans, analyze competitive bids, and help create or interpret layouts for roof trusses, floor joists, and wall panels.
