“Roof Trusses in Melbourne”
Custom-engineered roof trusses, designed to your plans and manufactured in our Dandenong South factory — supplied by a trusted Melbourne roof truss manufacturer to builders and owner-builders across Victoria.
What is a roof truss?
A roof truss is an engineered timber framework that supports your roof and transfers its weight evenly to the supporting walls, and from there to the footings. Prefabricated timber roof trusses are designed and manufactured off-site to your exact roof profile, then delivered ready to lift into place — replacing slower, less precise traditional pitched (“stick”) framing.
Benefits of prefabricated roof trusses
- Strength and clear spans. Engineered roof trusses can span wide openings without internal load-bearing walls, giving you more open, flexible interiors.
- Speed on site. Pre-made trusses are craned and fixed in a fraction of the time of cut-and-pitch framing.
- Less waste, lower cost. Factory cutting optimises timber use and reduces site waste and skip costs.
- Consistent quality. Manufactured indoors to AS 1684, so every roof truss performs as engineered.
- Design flexibility. From simple gables to cathedral ceilings and complex hip roofs, trusses are built to your architecture.
Types of roof trusses we manufacture
- Common (standard) trusses — the most economical option for classic gable and hip roofs.
- Scissor trusses — a sloped bottom chord creates vaulted or cathedral ceilings.
- Truncated (hip) trusses — form the structural hip ends of a roof line.
- Girder & raking trusses — carry concentrated loads along valleys and complex junctions.
- Custom & architectural trusses — engineered for long clear spans, hidden box gutters and non-standard profiles.
Materials and specifications
We manufacture our timber roof trusses from premium, sustainably sourced plantation pine:
- MGP10 and MGP12 structural timber — machine-graded for straightness and reliable load performance.
- H2F termite-treated framing timber as standard for builds south of the Tropic of Capricorn.
- Engineered and documented to AS 1684 and Victorian building requirements, with layouts produced in MiTek 20/20 and Sapphire software.
