A Coming Together with Custom Designs Don’t Forget! You Saw it in the

By James Clinich, Noltex Truss
When I got the plan for the Edwards Residence, a two story home in Midland, Texas, the Architect had already worked with a Structural Engineer to come up with a framing plan. I worked closely with Siboney Diaz-Sanchez with Overland Partners Architects to be sure that our truss designs would meet all of their design criteria. With OPA acting as a go-between, I also worked with Richard Manning with Smith Engineering Company to replace some of the specified framing conditions with trusses. The structural plan called for a combination of trusses and conventional framing; namely they were planning to scab on a three and a half foot cantilever on the second floor and also scab on a six foot overhang on the roof.
“The cantilever on the second floor was at one corner of the house and cantilevered out two sides; this is always a complicated design. Fortunately they had steel beams above to support the roof.”
