The Truss Partner program

Become a
Truss Partner.

Built for truss fabricators, component shops and lumber yards: every plan set your desk touches becomes a preliminary truss package in minutes — measured spans, per-type counts, board footage and a watermarked PRELIM PDF your designer confirms, revises and seals.

$250 / seat / month · unlimited truss uploads & prelim reviews

Truss-only tier — sold per designer/estimator seat. Preliminary output; your licensed designer finalizes & seals.

Per-type schedule · hip roof · read from the plan

jacks (gray) · commons (dark) · hip girders (red) · ridge (green) ✓ Hip corners decomposed into jack packs, valleys & girders — not "commons across the span"

Unlimited reviews

Every seat runs unlimited plan uploads & prelim truss reviews. No caps, no packs.

Per-type counts

Jacks, valleys, hip girders, commons, gable ends — counted from measured roof geometry.

PRELIM package PDF

Cover, placement plan, profile sheet & floor zones — watermarked, designer-ready.

🔒Your seal stays yours

Plates, ply, uplift, loading & the PE seal are never computed here. We prepare; you engineer.

What you get — specifically

Every deliverable, spelled out.

No mystery-box "AI". These are the concrete outputs a Truss Partner seat produces from an uploaded plan set today.

👁

AI plan review

Reads the uploaded permit set: building footprint & dimensions, roof pitch, roof type (gable / hip / multi-wing), the floor-plan sheet auto-selected and every roof line traced. Interior bearing lines are surfaced as advisory — you confirm before a span is split.

Preliminary truss schedule — per type

Counts by truss type with spans and notes: commons, gable ends, and on hip roofs the real mix — jack packs, valley sets and diagonal hip girders. Hip corners are decomposed, not averaged.

Span directions, compared

Primary vs alternate span direction side by side — count and board footage for each — so your designer picks the run, not the software.

Board footage

Preliminary BF on the selected chord size for the whole schedule — the number your quote desk wants first.

Floor truss zones

Flat / parallel-chord zones proposed from the plan footprint and detected bearings: span, run, count and end-gables per zone. Depth stays engineered — set by your designer, never assumed.

Handover fields — your drawing anatomy

Span, slope, heel height, overall height and chord lengths laid out like a MiTek / Alpine drawing, each labeled exact prelim or sealed so a designer reads it in seconds.

PRELIM Truss Package (PDF)

A supplier-handover PDF: cover & summary with the per-type schedule, truss placement plan, profile sheet and floor-zone layout — every page watermarked PRELIMINARY — NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION.

👥

Seats for the whole desk

Per-seat licensing: every designer and estimator gets their own login in one shared workspace — same projects, same uploads, same packages.

🔒

What we never compute

Lumber grade & species, final member design, girder ply, connector plates, wind loads & uplift, loading & load cases, deflection, camber, bracing and the PE seal — always yours. The boundary is contractual, not cosmetic.

Example output

What a hip roof actually looks like in the schedule.

Sample schedule in the product's real format. Real sealed supplier packages are dominated by jacks — so that's how we count. A "commons across the span" estimate under-counts a hip roof badly.

The full demo

What happens when a plan is uploaded — today.

This is the current, working product flow — not a roadmap. Five steps from PDF to a designer-ready package.

1

Upload the plan set

Drag in the permit set — one PDF or loose pages, they combine into one plan. Every sheet is indexed and typed from its title block so the roof and floor-plan sheets are found automatically. Truss Partner seats have unlimited uploads.

One click: ✨ AI Review Plans

The AI reads the roof off the plan — footprint and dimension chains, pitch, roof type, wings, and interior bearing lines (always advisory, never silently applied). Where the plan states it, the inputs are pre-filled; where it doesn't, nothing is assumed — pitch is never guessed.

The per-type schedule & span directions

Hip corners decompose into jack packs, valley sets and the diagonal girders that carry them; commons fill between. Primary vs alternate span direction are shown side by side with count and board footage — your designer picks the run with a click.

Handover fields + floor truss zones

The geometry lands in the same field anatomy as a MiTek / Alpine drawing — exact, prelim and sealed clearly separated. Floor-truss span zones are proposed from the footprint and detected bearings; you confirm each span, and depth stays the designer's call.

The caps are deliberate: preliminary truss review is a partner product built for the companies that live in truss — fabricators, component shops and lumber yards — not an add-on for individual framing subscribers.

Need framing takeoffs too? Pair partner seats with any framing plan.
