As more companies enter the light-gauge truss market, there is increasing tendency toward incomplete, inaccurate and misleading truss quotations.
Unfortunately, a confusing development is occurring. As more companies (many with little or no experience in prefabricated components) are entering the light-gauge truss market, the tendency toward incomplete, inaccurate and often misleading truss quotations is growing. On the other hand, experienced truss professionals, who understand and are concerned that their contractor customers receive a complete and accurate proposal, oftentimes find their comprehensive bids unfavorably compared to these less-than-thorough offerings. The result of this scenario is a heightened sense of uncertainty and confusion within the contracting and design firms that are charged with evaluating and selecting among an often-long list of prospective truss suppliers.
