The Structures Group specializes in panelized wood roof construction, a revolutionary new method that saves both time and labor. The entire roof structure can be manufactured off-site and erected in a fraction of the time it takes to finish a standard commercial roof. The prefabricated panels get lifted into place with a forklift or crane, which minimizes labor costs as well as the risk to your builders.
Panelized Roof Construction for Commercial Buildings
This commercial roof construction system combines steel joist purlins, wood open-web purlins, or long-span glulam framing with 2×4 or 2×6 subpurlins and plywood or OSB roof deck. Each panel can span up to 72 feet, and with purlins spaced 8 feet on center, panelized wood roof construction requires fewer total structural members.
Ten Advantages of Panelized Roof Construction
- Speeds up construction time
- Minimizes the risks to builders
- Reduces the cost of labor
- Uses fewer materials
- Eliminates or reduces the need for roof expansion joints
- Enables roofing to attach directly to the roof deck
- Makes it easier to install insulation, sprinkler systems, air ducts and other interior mechanics
- Offers better drainage and makes it easier to flash roof penetrations and downspouts
- Resists failure from fatigue
- Reduces the overall roof load
