General Information

Structural wood products are provided to serve a wide range of end uses. Some products are marketed through commodity channels where the products meet specific standards and the selection of the appropriate product is the responsibility of the user.

Other products are custom manufactured to meet the specific needs of a given project. Products in this category are metal plate connected wood trusses and custom structural glued laminated timbers. Design of the individual members is based on criteria specified by the architect or engineer of record on the project. Manufacture of these products is performed in accordance with the product's manufacturing standards. Engineering of these products normally only extends to the design of the products themselves. Construction-related issues, such as load path analysis and erection bracing, remain the responsibility of the professional of record for the project.
