Building The Premier Dream Shop - Part 2 Building Walls and Setting Trusses

What happens here

With the necessary clearance, the telehandler operator carefully lifts the large, prefabricated roof trusses from the ground. Each truss is maneuvered individually, then slowly extended over the walls. A worker positioned on the top plate guides the truss into its exact location, ensuring it aligns correctly with the wall framing. The telehandler then holds the truss in place while workers secure it. This process is repeated for all subsequent trusses.

Goal: Accurately place all prefabricated roof trusses onto the top plates.
