The Problem

Prefabrication moves constraints upstream: every wall panel and truss had to respect the truck bed and a two-man lift, floor trusses bear on CMU piers, and the whole package — calcs to machine files — had to arrive fabrication-ready.

What TCE Did

• Engineered the complete panel and truss package to IBC 2020 / ASCE 7-22 at 110 mph wind
• Designed 12-inch floor trusses with 18-inch girders on CMU piers, plus header trusses B1–B12 through revision
• Delivered the full prefab set: foundation sheets, 3D views, IFC, CAD, and per-assembly material reports
