We support truss plants across the US and Canada, working directly inside your licensed software to deliver production ready layouts on time. When your design queue backs up, jobs sit unbid and releases slow down. We give your plant the extra capacity to bid more, win more, and keep releases flowing without adding headcount.
We provide overflow design support for truss plants across the US and Canada, helping your team move from bid to release without adding full-time overhead.

No. We provide design and layout services only. Engineering review, sealing, and stamping are the responsibility of your engineer of record.
We design with code compliance in mind and flag concerns during the design process, but we do not certify or guarantee structural performance. Final responsibility rests with the client's licensed engineer.
Our staff have hands-on experience in both MiTek and Alpine. We work directly inside your licensed software via remote access, so files never leave your system.
No. All services are delivered remotely. We communicate by email, phone, or video call.
No. We provide design layouts only. Material procurement, connector specifications, and hardware are handled by your team and suppliers.
We typically connect using secure methods already common in the truss industry:
In both cases, you keep full control of user permissions, software licensing, file access, monitoring, and access revocation.
