Roof design and engineering
Send us your building plans and our design office returns a fully engineered roof: truss layout, working drawings and a 3D view, designed on MiTek and priced for free.
What you get
Every roof leaves our design office as a complete engineered package, ready for your engineer, your municipality and the crew on site.
What we design
Our designers work on everything from house extensions to schools, churches and warehouses.
Gable, hip, valley and multi-pitch roofs for new homes and additions.
Repeat designs for housing developments, including 200-unit projects.
Timber spans up to 18 m routinely, and MiTek Ultra-Span steel for 20 to 35 m.
Usable roof space designed in from the start.
Scissor and raised-tie trusses for height inside.
Architectural trusses designed to be seen.
How it works
Upload them on our plans page, or email or WhatsApp your nearest branch.
A designer models the roof on MiTek and checks spans, loads and bracing.
Layout, 3D view and an itemised price, usually within 1 to 5 working days.
When your walls reach roof level, a technician confirms dimensions on site.
Trusses are pressed to the design and delivered on our own trucks.
For architects, engineers and QS
We advise on, design and cost roof packages at feasibility stage, so the roof is right before tender. Early involvement helps you choose the most economical roof shape, pitch and covering, and avoids redesigns once the walls are up.
Our drawings are produced on MiTek Pamir, the platform engineers and certifiers recognise, and our plants are ITC-SA approved. That makes sign-off by the appointed competent person straightforward. Read more about roof truss regulations and sign-off.
Questions
No. The roof design, including a 3D view where needed, is free with your quote.
Your building plans, ideally with floor plans, sections and elevations, plus the roof covering you want. If the covering is not decided yet, we can advise.
Usually 1 to 5 working days, depending on the size of the project and the branch.
We can give guidance from a sketch, but a firm quote needs proper plans. Once the walls reach roof level, a technician confirms the dimensions on site before manufacture.
Our designs are produced on MiTek software and our plants are ITC-SA approved, which is what engineers and municipalities expect. Your appointed engineer still signs off the roof.
