Prior to fabrication, shop drawings and layouts will be submitted to you. Please review these drawing and indicate any changes that need to be made.

It is the framer/contractor’s responsibility to verify that the trusses are correct before installing them. Each job comes with a job packet that contains information on installation and other pertinent data. Trusses cannot be cut or altered in any way without prior approval from a qualified engineer. Any cut or modification without approval voids all warranties and no credit will be issued for the trusses or it’s modifications.

If for any reason the framer/contractor installs trusses that do not match plan specifics, by that action they accept the trusses as is and no adjustments or settlements will be allowed except those needed to repair the trusses.
