WHY ROOF TRUSSES. THEY CUT COSTS, USE LESS LUMBER, SPEED THE JOB.
Abstract
House framing methods have remained basically unchanged for many years with one notable exception. This is in the field of roof framing. Within a relatively short time the use of wood trusses in residential construction has become an accepted and well-established construction method. One of the advantages with trusses is the efficient use of lumber. Labor costs are low, although these naturally vary with the design of the truss or the type of connections used. (Author)
