FAQ
Can you assess a roof framed with manufactured trusses?
Yes, when reliable truss records, loading information and the proposed array layout are supplied. Altering or performing member-level analysis of a manufactured truss may require original truss data and an expanded scope.
Does this include solar attachment or wind uplift calculations?
The standard packages focus on the roof’s gravity load capacity. Attachment, uplift and connection force calculations must be identified and agreed upon before ordering
Can you compare attached and ballasted solar layouts?
Yes. Premium can compare up to three roof zones, ballast cases, framing types or defined array options when complete weights and layouts are supplied.
