A successful truss install is all about teamwork.

Everyone on site has a specific role, and every role matters.

šŸ‘‰One person rigs the truss properly and keeps track of the package order, so the crew stays moving efficiently.

šŸ‘‰Another guides and sets the truss into its exact location.

šŸ‘‰Then another team member immediately braces and secures it to keep the structure stable, while another stays on the ground cutting and passing material to keep everything flowing.

When it all comes together, it becomes a well-orchestrated movement, communication, timing, and teamwork all working together to safely and efficiently build the structure piece by piece.😁

Behind every clean timber detail and perfectly aligned roofline is a massive amount of planning.

On projects like this, every beam, timber feature, roof pitch, and structural element has to work together with precision. One adjustment in the layout can affect the entire build, which is why coordination and experience matter long before materials are installed.

Our team spends countless hours planning the structural details, checking dimensions, and mapping out how every element ties together so that when installation day comes, everything fits exactly as intended.

One of the biggest milestones in any build…. truss day!

This is the stage where the structure really starts to take shape, and the scale of the home comes to life.

From layout and bracing to alignment and structural integrity, our crew attends to every detail to make sure the roof system is solid, accurate, and ready for the next phase of construction.

A lot of coordination, teamwork, and skill go into days like this, and it’s always exciting to watch it come together.m is solid, accurate, and ready for the next phase of construction.

Arched Chord King Post Truss!

More than just a structural system, this arched-chord king-post truss is where engineering meets architectural artistry.

The curved bottom chord softens the truss profile while creating a dramatic sense of openness and flow within the space. For centuries, arched chord trusses have been used to combine structural strength with visual elegance, transforming a functional roof system into a defining architectural feature.

And for those of us who love to geek out on the craftsmanship side of timber framing… this truss has all kinds of joinery happening!

The kingpost transfers loads through a network of traditional timber joinery, locking the structure together with both strength and precision. From mortise and tenon connections to housed joints and interlocking braces, every joint is carefully cut and fitted by hand.

In this phase, our team walks through the process behind preparing a custom timber frame project:

Starting with a detailed plan
Building a dedicated workstation for accuracy
And why every connection has to fit perfectly

With timber framing, there’s no room for ā€œclose enough.ā€

Every cut, joint, and measurement matters because precision is what gives these structures their strength, longevity, and character.

This is craftsmanship built to last!

These diagonal pieces are for more than design.

The knee brace will provide lateral stability for the post-to-beam connection.

They look nice too!

Before nails and screws, there was craftsmanship.

The mortise and tenon joint is the foundation of most timber framing. One piece is cut to fit perfectly into another cut piece. This joint aligns two pieces and holds them together.

When done properly, these joints provide load transfer, long-term durability, and an unmatched historic aesthetic value!
