Prefabricated roof trusses can be accomplished in half the time required for a conventional rafter based system due to its flexibility and cost effectiveness. They can be provided for nearly all roof shapes and enable freedom of design and room layout. Prefabricated trusses are lightweight, fast and easy to install and are engineered to comply with all Australian Standards AS1720.

Our Roof Trusses are computer designed and engineered using Pryda software and Pryda hardware as joint fasteners.The exacting structural analysis used in Pryda software optimises the structure so that the structural strength is maximised whilst cost is minimised.
