The Benefits of Truss Construction
Truss building methods seem to originate around the 16th Century with Bridge construction
The modern timber roof and floor truss is a s self contained frame engineered and designed to give superior load transfer, whilst achieving economies in timber used and building time.
Today, factory manufacture and computer design assures accuracy "Hi-strength" and sustainability for modern building requirements.
Cyclone and Seismic Areas
The design and building method utilising truss style engineered components gives superior cyclonic and seismic capabilities. Variations can apply giving additional tie-down strength for extreme conditions.
