Structural Building Components
- Structural Building Components
Structural Building Components are specialized structural building products designed, engineered and manufactured under controlled conditions for a specific application. They are incorporated into the overall building structural system by a Building Designer. Examples are wood or steel roof trusses, floor trusses, floor panels, I-joists, or engineered beams and headers.
Structural Building Component Manufacturer or Truss Manufacturer is an individual or organization regularly engaged in the manufacturing of components.
