Roof Trusses
Designed and fabricated timber and steel roof trusses that carry the load and clear the span without internal walls.
Overview
A truss is a piece of structural engineering, not just a triangle of wood. We design and fabricate timber and steel trusses to span the distances your floor plan demands, transferring load cleanly to the supporting walls and columns.
Each truss layout is worked out for the specific geometry of the building -- pitch, span, point loads and the weight of the chosen covering -- so the roof behaves predictably under wind and rain.
Typical applications
- Large residential roofs
- Churches and halls with wide spans
- Commercial and institutional buildings
- Warehouses and industrial sheds
Specification
- Materials

The benefits
Clear internal spans
Trusses carry the roof without intermediate walls, freeing the floor plan.
Engineered to load
Member sizes calculated for span, pitch and covering weight.
Timber or steel
We fabricate in the material best suited to the span and budget.
Consistent geometry
Shop-accurate trusses give a true roof plane and faster install.

Still unsure? Speak to our team -- a site inspection answers most questions in one visit.
Book a site inspectionYes. We produce a truss layout and member schedule that your engineer or the approving authority can review before fabrication.
Span is the main driver. Wide clear spans and heavy coverings usually point to steel; moderate spans are well served by engineered timber.
