Services

Reliable Design Support for Truss Manufacturers

Get accurate, shop-ready truss design files delivered on time, so your team can focus on production and customer service. With senior level design experience on hundreds of projects across both the US and Canada, we become a seamless extension of your team.

Roof Truss Design

Gable, hip, valley, scissor, and multi-pitch configurations designed in MiTek Sapphire.

You get optimized designs that balance material efficiency with production simplicity, reducing costly field adjustments.

Truss Takeoffs from Plans

Complete lumber takeoff scopes extracted from architectural/structural drawings.

You get fast, accurate material quantification that empowers your sales team to quote with confidence and speed.

Wall Panel Design

Openings, headers, sheathing, and stud spacing for your panel line.

You get panel layouts that maximize sheet yield and minimize unique components, streamlining your production flow.

Hand-Framed Roof & Joist Layouts

Design of conventional rafter, ceiling joist, and ridge beam systems for custom or complex roofs.

You get clear, detailed framing plans for projects where trusses aren't suitable, ensuring your team can accurately quote and supply all lumber.

Floor Truss Layouts

Open web floor trusses (OWFT) with bearing coordination and load path alignment.

You get framing solutions tailored to budget or specification, with HVAC and electrical coordination built in and penetrations pre-planned from the start.

Engineered Wood Products (EWP)

LVL beams, I-joists, and glulam layouts sized to project loads.

You get beam and header schedules pre-coordinated with truss designs, and MEP clearances for ducts, pipes, and conduits built in from the start.
