Why should I use trusses instead of conventional framing methods?
There are many advantages to using trusses over conventional framing methods. One advantage is cost. With conventional framing methods, the lumber cost of roofing and flooring structures can add substantial lumber costs to your project. It also produces more scrap lumber, which adds disposal costs. The second advantage is time. Under most cases, trusses are delivered to your job site ready to be put in place. There is no measureing or cutting that needs to be done before the trusses can be erected. With conventional framing, every piece of lumber that builds the roofing structure needs to be measured, cut, and nailed. A third advantage is uniformity. Each truss that is manufactured is identical to all others for your project. This creates a seamless flow for your project.
