Satura bloks
Completion of the project and assembling
The project was completed in good time, even faster, it took only 2 weeks. The manufacturer does not have an assembly team, but has good partners who provide this service and who are usually recommended to the customers of Freimans Timber Constructions. The timber trusses from the truck were mounted onto the roof in a certain order using special equipment, and they were installed in the right fastening places. The work was carried out by two people. The trusses are not too heavy, on average they weigh approximately 70 kg, they can be lifted and moved by two people easily. The owner is satisfied with the quality of the product and the service. He is convinced that it was the right choice.
Cost comparison – private house roof area 179 m2 (prices do not include VAT)
The roof structure is built on the site by the masters using rafters
Rafters – 179×6 euro/m2 = 1074 euros
Installation – 179×15 (15 euro/m2) = 2685 euros
Total – 3759 euro
Roof construction from prefabricated timber trusses
Pre-manufactured product (Freimans Timber Constructions) – 1986 eiros
Installation – 179×6.5 euro/m2 = 1163.5 euros
Total – 3149.5 euros
The preliminary price calculation has been made in accordance with the information on costs provided by the timbre truss and rafter assembler Mr. Janis Odzins, the manager of Kraso LTD.
Cost in details
Theoretically the calculated prices are approximate, as there are differences in each individual case, but they indicate a trend that can be seen: a prefabricated product will certainly cost less. It also provides the guarantee of higher quality, because it is made of calibrated timber using technological equipment with high precision, as well as before transporting to the object the products undergo careful quality control. In Latvia, the situation with good masters-craftsmen is not hopeful, they as scarce as hen’s teeth, so after you buy timber for roof construction the process of looking for craftsmen will definitely make you wait for a long time until you get the services of a high-quality brigade. The only ones that can be hired fast enough are unexperienced frauds who don’t give a damn about the result.

GALEREJA
A private family house with a plan size of 15×9 m is being built in a nice village in the outskirts of Riga. It is being built in a smooth rhythm having carefully planned everything beforehand, after the purchase of each material and the choice of service had been evaluated thoroughly. The walls are made of aerated concrete blocks – this is both convenient and creates visual and functional durability of the load-bearing walls. The mass of aerated concrete blocks is large enough so that you do not have to choose the thickest insulation layer. The construction of the building began in July 2020, and in October, the house was under the roof so that the autumn rains do not cause any worries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wooden trusses are industrially manufactured roof structures that are custom-made according to the specific requirements of each project. High-quality C24 structural timber is used in their production, and the components are connected with specialized steel plates. This results in an exceptionally durable structure with maximum load-bearing capacity.
The cost of trusses is influenced by several factors, including:
Span (length of the bottom chord);
Overhang; Roof pitch;
Spacing between trusses;
Number of trusses;
Load requirements.
To prepare an accurate quotation, the following information is required:
Project address;
Type of roof covering;
Building function;
Desired delivery date;
Drawings – section view and floor plan.
The exact location of a new building requiring roof trusses is essential for calculating snow and wind loads, which vary by region.
The type of roof covering determines how much weight per square meter the truss must support.
Wooden trusses offer the possibility to create large-span structures of up to 35 meters without the need for load-bearing internal walls. They also allow for customized solutions, adapting trusses to virtually any shape.
Trusses are highly versatile and can be easily connected to other structural elements, such as steel beams.
They are designed using professional engineering software, enabling fast and high-quality production with millimeter-level precision. Wooden truss solutions provide virtually unlimited planning and reconfiguration possibilities.
Since trusses are manufactured in a factory environment, they are not exposed to changing weather conditions during production, ensuring consistent quality.
Trusses are delivered to the construction site ready for installation. Their assembly does not require highly specialized knowledge or a highly skilled workforce.
Wooden trusses are an environmentally friendly product with a relatively simple manufacturing process that minimizes unnecessary use of timber resources.
Wooden trusses are industrially manufactured structures, which means their production is more precise and, in most cases, significantly more cost-effective.
Choosing wooden trusses requires less timber. In many cases, rafter roof construction requires up to 30% more timber compared to roof trusses.
Rafter installation is also considerably more time-consuming than truss installation. Comparative studies show that rafter assembly can take up to 2.5 times longer than installing wooden trusses.
The timing of a truss order is an important factor to ensure delivery by the planned installation date, especially during the construction season when demand is at its highest.
Therefore, we recommend initiating communication and project preparation before the construction of the house begins, or, for example, when excavation work starts.
During peak season, the manufacturing lead time may exceed one month if the order is placed at the last minute.
Delivery of trusses to the construction site is a separate service, carried out either by a transporter arranged by the client or provided by our company. Most commonly, trusses are lifted into place on-site using a crane.
If the building contractor is familiar with the truss installation process, the work can be completed efficiently and to a high standard. However, it should be noted that a crane is usually required to lift the trusses into position.
We can also recommend reliable partners who will carry out truss installation quickly and professionally.
The weight of roof trusses varies depending on their size. For example, a truss that is 10 meters long and 2.7 meters high weighs approximately 75 kilograms.
