Trusses Completed - Walls Started

Assembling Trusses

Every house has a book of engineering drawings that match the programming of the roll formers. There's a page for each different truss plan. For this house there are 45 different truss plans to build a total of 90 trusses.
The truss parts are bolted together as they're formed and punched.
The completed trusses are stacked in the opposite order that they will be installed. When we're ready to set them they'll be loaded on our flatbed truck with a forklift to be delivered to the job site.

Trusses

We started building trusses in the shop today.
