About

Our Mission

Truss House exists to address the housing crisis by making the complex simple. We enable the existing supply chain to build better, faster and more sustainably with no new factories, no new materials and no lengthy retraining.

Using our system, work and liability shift into the manufacturing environment, giving builders greater certainty, shorter program cycles and a network that is ready to scale from day one.

Our Partnerships

The intelligence behind the Truss House system is that it is fully integrated into the Pryda software that operates within frame and truss factories across Australia and New Zealand. Pryda is the engineering backbone of the system, providing structural sign-off, consent-ready documentation and the technical expertise required to deliver a certified, build-ready design — without the need for a separate structural engineer.

We are strategically building volume partnerships to standardise designs and material packages, successfully removing cost and complexity.

Pryda have been developing a partnership with Bunnings Trade, delivering warm and efficient homes through their Trade Channels and their Clever Living Granny Flat Range. The frames for this range are manufactured by our specialised partner, Pohutukawa Frame and Truss (PFTL). This tight integration delivers the ultimate in process efficiency: fixed designs, fixed material packages, and fixed pricing.

Pryda

Pryda is one of New Zealand and Australia's leading supplier of timber truss and frame solutions to the building industry, and holds the exclusive licence to design and engineer Truss House products across both countries. As the engineering backbone of the system, Pryda's team ensures every Truss House design meets the technical and structural standards required for consent and long-term performance. Pryda operates under the ITW brand globally and brings world-class engineering capability to every project.

PFTL (Pohutukawa Frame and Truss Limited)

PFTL is one of our key manufacturing partners in New Zealand, producing Truss House frames for the Bunnings Trade channel and for residential projects across the country.

Trussed Systems Limited

Trussed Systems Limited owns the Truss House intellectual property, including granted patents in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Ireland and Canada.
