When choosing a Truss Manufacture for your next project there are many things one should consider, besides if they are licensed.
- Visit the Truss Company Personally if Possible. Since you will be spending quite a bit of money with that company, go and see for yourself, the facility and operation.
- Can You Meet with The Owner or will you be dealing with a sales representative
- How Long Have They Been in Business
- How does your Architect Feel about them – this may be your first time, but Architect deals with various sub-contractors and suppliers through-out their career – find out from them.
- Reference Are Good – but remember you will only be given the reference they want to give you.
- Will they put everything in Writing? Find out the process, always require everything in writing.
- Will they list All The Pages of The Plans on The Proposal
- Will they State on Proposal, that the trusses will be designed and built to code
- Will they give you a Preliminary Plan Prior to Final Plans & Engineering
- Will they give you plans to approve prior to fabrication
