Speed
Build sooner
Prefabricated truss portals stand up in hours, not weeks. Crews spend less time on bracing and less time waiting for structure to be signed off. On typical programmes, this can save 2–3 weeks out of the framing stage alone.
A more sustainable solution for New Zealand housing
Build with Absolute Certainty
Truss House replaces the "floor-wall-roof" with a single, pre-engineered structural system that puts you in control.

Where your project is transformed
What makes Truss House Different?
The structural portal frame system creates an integrated building envelope without interior bracing walls. That means less time spent straightening, bracing, and reworking, and more time moving the project towards completion.

4. High‑performance envelope: healthier, more comfortable homes.
Truss House produces a thermally efficient, well‑insulated envelope with reduced thermal bridging.
Installation sequence gallery
See how to install the frame on site
These site images show the timber frame doing the structural work early, so crews can move faster into enclosure and follow-on trades.
Use the gallery to understand installation sequence: structure first, enclosure sooner, less wasted movement between crews.
Why projects use Truss House
Why does one structural decision reshape your whole build?
The Truss House portal frame carries structural loads through the timber frame itself. That removes conventional bracing steps, opens the plan, and creates a dedicated services cavity. The result is simple to understand on site: crews get moving faster, follow-on trades run cleaner, and the finished layout has fewer structural compromises.
Certainty
Reduce risk before site pressure compounds
Pre-engineered connections mean fewer on-site decisions. PS1 certification gives consultants and councils a clearer starting point. Your programme stays steadier because the structure is more predictable from day one.
Consent path
Fewer structural unknowns
Programme
Cleaner handover to each trade
Flexibility
Open the plan
No load-bearing internal walls means open floor plans without structural compromise. Layout decisions stay more flexible, and the dedicated services cavity keeps plumbing and electrical runs cleaner through fit-off.
