The concept for our exposed heavy timber truss jobs starts with a conversation between an architect and their client. The customer might say, "I want to see nice wooden trusses that complement my dining room." Or the architect might suggest trusses if their client is going for a certain "wow factor". Structural Wood Products' work goes into a wide variety of buildings, but exposed heavy timber trusses usually go above rooms with high ceilings and wide open floor plans. Examples include living rooms, walk ways, gymnasiums, club houses, ski lodges, swimming pool covers, restaurants, bars, etc. . . Once an architect determines that a customer wants exposed trusses, he or she might sketch what the trusses should look like. Below is a sketch of the Blue Ash Bistro truss that an architect could have drawn for their client.

After the concept is on paper, a project will move to the planning stage where a set of plans is created.
