Technology & Old-fashioned Design Skills: The Perfect Combination for Success

  • Back in the ‘80s, truss technicians had to input the lengths, bearing locations and any concentrated loads on a truss other than a standard truss.
  • Today’s truss design software helps streamline truss technicians’ work, but fundamental design, engineering and building code concepts are still important.
  • Design technology gives us the capability to take designs to the next level and spec in a wide range of products from wall panels to steel trusses.
  • The time has come to embrace all structural building component materials.
