Trusses are Practical

	Wood trusses are available locally. Trusses are fabricated in almost every major city in the world.
	In most cases, wood trusses can be installed without the use of heavy machinery. They are light in weight and can be easily and safely handled and lifted into place.
	Truss fabricators and truss plate manufacturers are available to provide guidance and technical support to designers or builders confronted with design, building official, or installation difficulties.

Trusses Save Money

	Money losses from job site material shortages or theft are eliminated.
	Reduces skilled labor costs for on-site cutting and fitting of conventional rafters and joists.
	You will know your actual cost from the start.
	No chance of costly material cutting errors.

Trusses Save Time

	Wood trusses arrive at the jobsite ready to install; site erection time is greatly reduced.
	Estimating time is handled by your truss fabricator.
	Weather delays are minimized by quick building enclosure.
	Trusses do not contribute to waste generated at the site making cleanup faster and cheaper.
	Material shortage delays are eliminated.
	There is less returning to building site for ceiling and roof line problems.
	Prompt delivery helps you keep your construction schedule.

Trusses Save Materials

	Truss systems often eliminate the need for interior bearing walls and double floor joists.
	Trusses are spaced 24” o. c. as compared to 16” o. c. for conventional rafter framing.
	Trusses are good for the environment because trusses use less material to do the same job.

Trusses Save Work

	No need for highly skilled carpenters for truss erection.
	An average single family home in North America can be under-roof in one day.
	Elimination of interior load-bearing partitions permits flooring to go down over the entire floor at once, minimizing the need for on-site cutting and fitting work.
	Drywall can be applied to all exterior walls and ceilings prior to interior partition installation.
	The entire roof structure of pre-engineered trusses is delivered to site at one time, ready to install.
	Design variations are quick to design and easy to construct.
