Engineered Truss Plans — Blackwater Truss Systems
⚠️ IMPORTANT: By purchasing engineered truss plans, the price of both the trusses and the engineering service is subject to change after checkout. Engineering may require design modifications, material changes, or additional complexity that can affect the final cost of both the trusses and the engineered plans. Our team will contact you with any pricing adjustments once the engineering is completed.
Please note this clearly: Engineering can change truss design requirements, and your original truss price and engineering price may be adjusted accordingly. This applies to all orders that include engineered plans.
⚠️ Engineered plans cannot be purchased on their own. They must be purchased with a truss order. This applies to all engineering services.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: We will not start manufacturing your trusses until engineering is complete. This may delay your truss order past its typical lead time due to waiting for engineering results.
Why Engineered Plans Matter
Many counties, cities, and municipalities require engineered drawings to issue building permits, especially for structures with larger spans or in areas with strict wind or snow load regulations. Engineered plans provide:
- Structural verification that the trusses meet applicable code requirements.
- Official stamped drawings from a licensed engineer.
- Documentation that can be submitted to your local building authority for faster permit approval.
- Peace of mind knowing your building is supported by certified design.
Our engineered plans are customized to reflect your specific building configuration, ensuring accuracy and compliance with local regulations.
⚠️ Reminder: Purchasing engineered plans may result in a change in both your truss pricing and engineering pricing after engineering is completed.
⚠️ Engineered plans cannot be purchased separately. They must be purchased as part of a truss order.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: We will not start manufacturing your trusses until engineering is complete. This may delay your truss order past its typical lead time due to waiting for engineering results.
What’s Included
When you purchase engineered truss plans, you’ll receive:
- Professionally drafted truss drawings and specifications.
- Engineering stamps and certifications from a licensed structural engineer.
- Load calculations and structural details required for permitting.
- Plans tailored to your truss size, pitch, and configuration.
These plans are specific to Blackwater Truss Systems products, ensuring a seamless match between the drawings and the trusses you purchase.
⚠️ Note: Engineering may require changes to truss design or materials, which can alter both truss and engineering pricing after checkout.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: We will not start manufacturing your trusses until engineering is complete. This may delay your truss order past its typical lead time due to waiting for engineering results.
⚠️ Note: Engineered plans cannot be purchased on their own. A truss purchase is required.
How It Works
- Check your local building code requirements to see if engineered plans are needed for your structure. If you’re not sure about your local load requirements, no problem — we can look them up for you.
- Add the engineered plans to your cart when purchasing your trusses.
- After checkout, we will send you an email with a form to collect the specific details of your project (span, pitch, wind/snow load requirements, building type, etc.) needed for engineering. If you don’t know your local load requirements, that’s no problem — we’ll be happy to look them up for you to make sure everything meets code. If you are unable to complete the form, our team will give you a call to gather the necessary information.
- Once we receive your information, our team will prepare your stamped plans.
- You’ll receive your engineered truss plan set, ready for submission to your local permitting office.
- If engineering results in design or material changes, our team will contact you to discuss any price adjustments to both the trusses and the engineered plans.
⚠️ Important: Engineered plans must be purchased before or during checkout with your trusses. They cannot be produced retroactively without additional fees.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: We will not start manufacturing your trusses until engineering is complete. This may delay your truss order past its typical lead time due to waiting for engineering results.
⚠️ Engineered plans cannot be purchased alone — they must accompany a truss order.
