Trusses will be delivered on site in large bundles banded together. How does one figure out where each piece goes, and how each piece has been designed to fit and function properly in the roof system?

  1. Architectural blueprints and details.

  2. Structural blueprints and details.

  3. Truss schedule and details.

  4. Manufacturer's drawings and details.

The correct answer is: Truss schedule and details.

Trusses are delivered in bundles, so it is important to have a way to identify each piece and understand its function in the roof system. Architectural and structural blueprints may provide some information, but they are not specific to each individual truss. The manufacturer's drawings may also provide useful information, but they may not account for specific site conditions. The most efficient and accurate way to figure out where each truss goes and how it fits into the roof system is by using the truss schedule and details provided by the manufacturer. These documents will outline the specific design and placement of each truss, making it easier to assemble and ensure proper functionality of the roof system.
