What are Truss Shop Drawings%3F
People who want to design architectural projects often ask us how to go about it. In answer to this frequently asked question Ken Small Architect made this video listing one option for the steps to get your architectural project designed.
Normal procedure for use of standard structural members like standardized steel trusses is that everything related to structural design is included in one set of documents that come from the structural engineer.
When constructing projects using wood or some other systems it is frequently a cost savings to use custom designed trusses in unique shapes that are not standard premanufactured units.
The way that this is done is that the SE draws his plans showing the placement of the trusses and the structural loading criteria.
For the construction documents to be complete the truss supplier must design the individual trusses and provide drawings and calculations of them.
We can help you with all design and construction aspects of your project planning, construction and interior design. We highly recommend that you contact SSA Architecture to do a preliminary architectural floor plan design before you sign your lease or even make an offer to buy or lease a building or lot for your use. For a small cost this due diligence can make relatively sure that your planned use will work and that you can use the preliminary project design to get a “Ball-park” opinion of probable construction cost from a contractor. With that methodology you can verify that your goals will work.

We are currently licensed to practice architecture in Nevada, Arizona and California and other jurisdictions. Please go to our web site for more information www.smallstudioassociates.com
