Discover the Leading Truss Design and
Estimating Software on the Market

Truss Design & Estimating (D & E) is a complete automated solution for the design of aluminum or steel truss building frames with either sloped or arched roof trusses. Our software can design trusses for: light-gage steel, structural steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

This easy to use program will save you time and money in the analysis, design and estimating of light-gauge metal trusses. Typically, a metal truss would take 3 1/2 to 4 hours to design using conventional structural engineering software. Using Truss D&E, a truss can be designed in about 5 minutes!
