Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we provide comprehensive engineering documentation with every truss package we manufacture. All of our trusses come with detailed, engineer-approved drawings that meet current building codes and specifications. For permit purposes, we supply properly stamped engineering documentation that satisfies local building departments' requirements.

Our in-house engineering team ensures all documentation is accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with relevant codes. We believe proper documentation is essential for successful project completion, which is why our complete packages include not just the trusses themselves, but also specifications for necessary hardware and hangers, installation guidelines, and bracing requirements.

This thorough approach to documentation reflects our commitment to quality and gives our clients confidence that their truss systems are properly designed, manufactured, and ready for installation according to professional engineering standards.
