American Built Systems

Roof Truss Framing

  • Complex roof & ceiling profiles are easy to design with our software.. 
  • Hip & valley roof systems are much easier to build using trusses versus conventional framing.
  • Layouts & stamped truss drawings are generated & delivered with each roof truss package for easy setting.
  • Roof trusses can easily be used with a variety of on center spacing to optimize strength & lumber resources.
  • Longer spans are easy to create reducing or eliminating the need for interior bearing walls, beams, & columns.
  • Structures are dried in more quickly saving time & avoiding weather related delays.

Floor Truss Framing

  • Floor trusses can be manufactured in long spans reducing or eliminating the need for intermediate bearing walls, beams, columns, or footings. 
  • Open webs allow for hvac ducts, plumbing lines, & electrical lines within the system. This eliminates the need for cutting or furring down to hide mechanicals.
  • Layouts & stamped truss drawings are generated & delivered with each floor truss package for easy setting.
  • Special bearing, cantilever, & balcony details can be built into the truss.
  • Stiffness can be designed into the truss creating a more solid floor.
  • The 3 1/2” width allows for quick gluing & accurate nailing or screwing of the sheathing.

Wall Panel Framing

  • Wall lumber use can be optimized with studs designed at the optimum spacing for the applied roof & floor truss loads. 
  • Layouts are generated & delivered with each wall panel package, picking up all bearing locations & showing correct locations for easy setting.  Each wall panel is marked accordingly.
  • High quality material is used.
  • Walls are square & proper nailing patterns are used.
  • Studs & headers are designed to support applied loads.
  • Sheathing & housewrap are applied in the factory, saving time in the field.
