Question of the Day By: Stan Sias

How do building designers determine truss layouts?

We’ve all seen plans come in with framing layouts that don’t seem (to us, anyway) to make any sense. The questions and initial reactions are many: Why did the EOR make this Stan Sias - National Manager a terminal hip and create the need for that massive special Plated Truss Industry at Simpson Strong-Tie hanger?, Why hang all of that roof from one girder truss?, What were they thinking?, and finally the proverbial, Let me show them how this should be done!

Truss placement…what is the best plan?

Building designers are often required to create a truss placement plan or layout to indicate to the framer/contractor/builder how they anticipate the flow of loads to pass through the structure and into the foundation or ground. On gable style roofs this is easy, as the bearing walls are typically parallel to the ridge and eaves. On hip style roofs, not so much. Numerous questions come into play: •

How does the architect/engineer/building designer know the most efficient framing style, setback or other parameters?

•

Once a system is selected, how firm are they with the truss suppliers that their layout must be matched exactly?

•

From an anticipated flow of loads perspective, we hope that the specifications are pretty clear. What happens when they are not?

•

What happens when the local supplier’s technician decides to flip framing directions or move specified girder placement locations? They may think that they can save some money on their quote and have a better chance at landing the job, but what about you, the building designer?

•

You’ve done your work and have a complete load path planned within your contract documents. Do you require this exact load path be followed when accepting submittals?

Not doing so could mean additional work on your part and added confusion on the jobsite.

•

If beams, foundations or footings need to be re-sized or relocated, that means plan revisions.

Who pays for those?

It is undoubtedly true that the local Component Manufacturer (CM) knows best what and where their manufacturing efficiencies come from. It could be in their selected lumber grades and/or size inventories or possibly in the material flow through their plant. It is also beyond a doubt that the building designer knows his building design and the associated flow of loads through it better than the CM. Why does one need to ‘outsmart’ the other?

Collaboration is the answer

NO REPRODUCTION IN WHOLE

It’s mutually beneficial to the building designer and the CM to collaborate during the planning stages, so that the strengths of both parties can be utilized. Doing so creates partnerships and understanding that go well beyond the design project at hand. Each can learn from the other to further THE COMPONENT ADVERTISER refine design process efficiencies. A classic example of this is the creation of the plans for permanent building stability bracing. Having input into the individual truss design could strategically place eMagazine webs into alignment and facilitate lateral restraint and diagonal bracing placement in the finished Reading options structure, and allow that bracing plan be part of the original contract documents. This helps everyone You have two options with our new in the construction process. The permanent bracing step would then be bid and the materials and eMagazine, 1 or 2 page display. For smaller labor accounted for instead of what seems to many of us, something that’s only done when caught in screens, tablets and phones, we will now offer inspection by the EOR or building official. a 1 page link in our weekly notice.

Quality would soon follow, as it would become too expensive to do www.componentadvertiser.com it right, and everyone only cared about getting it fast and cheap. Industry design platforms are making it easier and easier to collaborate. Are you open to the challenge and risk of partnering for success?

It’s easier than you may think and the benefits can be tremendous. Some CMs are already doing this and others have formed separate companies to take on the building designer role themselves. However you choose to approach it, collaboration early on in the project is the answer.

Todd Drummond Consulting, LLC.

Net Profit Industry Standards as Percentage to Sales Website: www.todd-drummond.com - Phone: (USA) 603-763-8857 Email: todd@todd-drummond.com Copyrights © November 2014

Now that the year is ending and starting new again, it is once again time to compare what kind of net profit we (you) truly did make for the year. So the really big question is how profitable was your company? Then, how well do you compare to your peers? If you are the one responsible for the company’s profit/loss the amount of net profit to sales as a ratio is very much like a score card on how well you are performing.

Now, before introducing the actual industry standard percentage numbers, let me explain that the figures below are of the industry’s normal markets. If your company is not preforming at the defined levels shown here, you might want to question WHY? Yes, you may believe your market is somehow different then everyone else and your company is somehow unique. Well as the leader and the one responsible for the P/L, is it not in your job description to be able to overcome all the obstacles?

Now for the ratio of net profit to sales: •

Below average – 0% to 9%

•

Average – 10% to 12%

•

Common to see – 13% to 19%

•

High return and more common than most know about – 20% to 25% (No B.S.)

For the average and better returns you need to have normal market conditions.

One may describe what a normal market condition as a company that has steady sales volume through the building seasons with the production schedule is one week or more. What many of you might be shocked by is that having a 20% to 25% net profit ratio is often with companies that have almost no work in the winter season because of the frozen ground covered by snow. Many of these highly profitable companies are making the high yearly returns in only 8 to 9 months of the year with one shift.

For all you who are satisfied with 12% or less, well good for you, umm maybe. Personally, risking your investment in a company with only 12% or less when dealing with millions of dollars, you might be nuts. It is too bad that many companies are fine with single digit net profits year after year.

If you are not performing at the average and higher level, what you should be asking yourself is what is it that you could be doing differently to be garnering better results? The answer is that it is not one thing, but it is normally many things that lead to these high returns. What is so common about the high performing companies is that they perform better because they are a better performing group of people doing all the activities more effectively. Here is a list of some of the things they all have in common for the high performers: •

They understand their true cost and do not have to wait to the end of year to understand their profits.

•

The schedules (production, design and quoting) are managed properly and are not a guessing game that is unreliable.

•

They have loyal employees who actually like working for them and do not have a high employee turnover.

•

All the areas are properly managed so this means they have a proactive approach to everything. They have fewer problems because they have a better performing overall system.

•

Automation in their production is not consistent among them. Some are highly automated and others are not, so automation helps, but is certainly not the defining factor. Despite what your equipment vendors may be telling you.

•

They are never satisfied with the status quo and are willing to listen and learn from others. They seek advice from outside their own core group or comfort zone.

Hopefully your company is one that is in the top range for profitability. If not, there are ways it can get there but doing what you have always have done in the past is always a good indicator of getting the same results. So if you think purchasing the new automated saw or auto puck table will make all the difference, more than likely, it will not. Again, it is all the little and big things together that make the big difference for a great net profit result.

Updates on the solid wood market in Canada and the US provided

by Keta Kosman, publisher and editor of Madison’s Lumber Reporter. Madison’s is a North American lumber and panel commodity price guide and market analysis newsletter, which has been published every Friday out of Vancouver, BC since 1952.

For more information please visit http://www.madisonsreport.com

MADISON’S MONTHLY LUMBER MARKET UPDATE AND OVERVIEW December 29, 2014 Provided by: Madison’s Lumber Reporter www.madisonsreport.com

Improving on stability begun last year for North America’s forest products manufacturers, 2014 ended on a positive note. Volumes and values of dimension and framing lumber shipped from Canada to the US for the first ten months of this year equalled that for full-year 2013. Data out of Statistics Canada December 29 shows lumber exported from Canada to the US, by value, for Jan - Oct 2014 is up 23.5 per cent compared to the same time period last year. Volumes increased 10.5 per cent.

and a half these have been driving the increase in total starts (although single-family units have also been improving, albeit more slowly).

The most often-used item in the construction of an average single-family North American house is the 2x4, while for multifamily building it is the 2x6 size.

As the graph on this page demonstrates, the price of Southern Yellow Pine 2x6 has not traditionally tracked with SYP 2x4 as closely as Western Spruce-Pine-Fir 2x6 has tracked with both WSPF and SYP 2x4. It is possible that, for the next couple of years at least, the commodity price of Southern Yellow Pine 2x6 will be an excellent forward indicator of new US home building. At a minimum it is clear, at least for the immediate future, that SYP 2x6 prices are coming much more into play with US housing than has been the case in the past.

Field inventories of solid wood continue extremely weak, while stocks at Sawmills and panel mills across the US and Canada finished sawmills are somewhat increased over this time last year as product already sold 2014 with excellent log decks.

For the past year than a year, with so far no word out of Canada except a professed desire to ‘renew as is’. For it’s part, the powerful US Lumber Coalition has already expressed it’s deep concern about several important aspects of this bi-lateral trade deal and is on the record as stating it does not support a simple renewal. Upon expiry the 2006 SLA remains in effect for one additional year. The possibility of a renewed trade dispute between Canada and the US in 2016 over softwood lumber is not much welcomed by industry at this difficult time of recovery.

LUMBER MARKET INTELLIGENCE FRONT PAGE

The Softwood Framing Lumber Market Forecast & Trading Strategies Since 1985 Matt Layman, Publisher

Week #52

Monday

December 22, 2014

Shortest Jobsite Work Week of 2014

Forecast

Sunday, December 21 is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. With Christmas falling on Thursday, most job sites will be down at least a day and a half, most likely two days. That makes this Christmas week the shortest and least productive job site work week of 2014. It is also the least productive for logging and lumber production.

The current lumber market strength is weather induced. For this rally to continue, we MUST have much better than normal January weather in the north. The long range forecasts are more favorable than last winter, however, the volatile El NiĂąo effect could bring cold surprises.

• Forecasted Decision Points (FDP) Trends...The forecast for January is higher. February drifts lower. • 6x10 Historicals...The first two weeks of the year are historically very strong. Over the last ten years, 75% of that time, lumber prices have finished higher or unchanged. 95% of that time, OSB has finished higher or unchanged. SPF and SYP have been higher the first week of the year, ALL of the last ten years. . • Sales/Production Ratios...Lumber and OSB mills have solidified year end order files. • Conclusion...Buying should continue into year end since mills have order files and can assure January delivery on most items. This flurry started early and is totally weather dependent if it is to last through Jan.

Construcción con cerchas de madera

Safety Meeting Topics From State Fund CA.

Wood Truss Construction

Las cerchas de madera ayudan a crear grandes espacios abiertos en los que vivir y trabajar. Las cerchas son resistentes debido a que sus componentes triangulares se sujetan entre sí. No obstante, las construcciones con cerchas mal ejecutadas pueden derrumbarse como un castillo de naipes y lastimar a los trabajadores.

Wood trusses help create large, open living and work spaces. Trusses Las personas encargadas de la instalación de las cerchas y el operador are strong because of their triangular components fastened together. de la grúa deben coordinar sus funciones mediante la creación de un However, improper truss construction can come tumbling down like a plan de trabajo.

Before beginning construction, examine the framing system and trusses to ensure that they are solid and stable. To protect the stability of the trusses, store them properly by supporting them off of the ground on platforms, etc. Don’t cut, drill or alter trusses unless you have explicit instructions to do so from the truss manufacturer.

Asegúrese de que las cerchas almacenadas se agrupen juntas, de modo que no se deslicen ni se corran. Las cerchas sueltas deben almacenarse y apilarse horizontalmente.

Mueva las cerchas en posición vertical usando los tirantes superiores como puntos de apoyo.

No levante ni mueva las cerchas agrupadas usando sus cintas de almacenamiento, ya que podrían ceder repentinamente y dejar caer la carga. No permita que las cerchas se doblen lateralmente dado que podrían quebrarse súbitamente y causar lesiones.

Make sure stored trusses are kept bundled together so they don’t slide and shift. Loose trusses should be stored horizontally stacked. Move trusses in the upright position using the top chords as anchor points. Don’t lift or move truss bundles using their storage banding, it could give way suddenly and drop the load. Don’t let trusses bend laterally, they could break suddenly and cause injuries.
