A building is only as strong as the frame that supports it. The lumber and trusses you choose determine everything from structural integrity and load capacity to how long your building will stand. That’s why we never cut corners on framing components.<\/p>

Every piece of wood that goes into a Swiss Construction project is selected for its strength, durability, and performance. From the skirt boards that sit closest to the ground to the trusses that span your roof, we use reliable materials that meet or exceed modern building standards.<\/p>

Whether you need a clear-span interior for a commercial pole building<\/a> or a heavy-duty frame for an agricultural shop, our component systems are engineered specifically for your project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Trusses: The Backbone of Your Roof<\/h2>

Trusses are the engineered framework that supports your roof and creates the open, column-free space that makes post frame construction so valuable. Rather than relying on interior load-bearing walls, our truss systems transfer weight to the outer walls, giving you maximum flexibility for floor plans.<\/p>

What makes our trusses different:<\/strong><\/p>

  • Precision Assembly:<\/strong> Hydraulically pressed joints with vertically embedded plates ensure consistent, reliable connections.<\/li>
  • Experience:<\/strong> Decades of truss design experience means we know how to engineer for snow loads, wind loads, and local building codes.<\/li>
  • Industry-Leading Hardware:<\/strong> We use MiTek connector plates, a trusted name in truss manufacturing.<\/li>
  • Superior Lumber:<\/strong> 2400-Fb machine stress rated lumber provides higher load-bearing capacity than standard framing lumber.<\/li><\/ul>

    Available in a variety of roof pitches to match your design aesthetic and performance needs. Whether you want a steep pitch for a traditional look or a low slope for modern farmhouse style, we can engineer the right truss for your project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Not all lumber is the same. Different species and treatment levels perform better in different parts of a building. We select each component based on where it will be used and what stresses it will face.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
