What happens here

The speaker explains the core innovative method used by 'FBI Builders' for roof installation. The pre-assembled roof trusses and long support beams are integrated into a single unit, which is then connected to the three specialized hydraulic jacks. The plan is for these jacks to synchronously lift the entire roof structure as one piece, raising it to its final height where it will be secured to the vertical posts (which are assumed to be built up by the time of the lift). This method is praised for its efficiency, saving significant time, and enhancing safety by reducing the need for workers to construct the roof at elevated heights.

Goal: Comprehend the entire roof installation process as described by the speaker.
