Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour residential school Survivors, their families and communities, and remember the children who never returned home.

This day is an opportunity to reflect on the history and lasting impacts of the residential school system, while continuing to listen to and learn from First Nations, Inuit and Métis voices and experiences.

We encourage everyone to explore Indigenous-led educational resources, support reconciliation initiatives and take part in programs that help build greater understanding within our communities.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey that requires listening, learning, respect and action from all of us.

A smoother build starts with a clear understanding of how everything fits together before materials reach the jobsite.

Using MiTek software, our design team can view a home in 3D, including roof and floor trusses, floor joists, walls and other framing components, to see how each system connects.

For more complex or multi-level builds, that added perspective helps confirm elevations, identify how different sections align and provide greater clarity before installation begins.

Builders and framers can also access the 3D model through the MiTek Viewer app, allowing crews to rotate the model, zoom into specific areas and better understand details that may be harder to visualize in a traditional 2D drawing.

It’s another way Nelson Lumber helps bring greater clarity and coordination from design to jobsite.

Better visibility. Better coordination. Built with the jobsite in mind.

Trusses on trusses. And more trusses 🏡

What you’re looking at here is more than a stack of lumber. These truss packages are part of multiple homes currently moving through production, each one carefully organized before it ever reaches the jobsite.

Detailed schematics, internal tags and ink-jet markings help our team track components throughout the production process. Once a truss run is complete, it’s tagged with key job and placement information so builders and contractors can quickly identify what goes where when it arrives on site.

That means less guesswork, better organization and a smoother install when crews are ready to build. From production to delivery, every step is designed to help keep the job moving.

Built to spec. Ready for site ✅

Roof and floor trusses need to do more than look right on a drawing. It needs to arrive ready to install, fit the project and help keep construction moving. Our design team develops the engineered truss layouts that guide each build, defining key geometry, component placement and structural requirements before production begins.

At our facilities, those designs move directly into production, where precision-cut lumber, metal connector plates and digital workstation displays help guide accurate assembly.

That connection between design, engineering and production helps create greater consistency in the plant and more confidence on the jobsite. The result is a roof or floor system built to specification, with fewer surprises in the field and a smoother path from delivery to installation.

Precision you can build on 📐

A quality roof or floor system starts long before it reaches the jobsite.

Laser-guided technology projects the exact layout of each truss directly onto the assembly table, helping our team accurately position lumber components and metal connector plates throughout the build.

Combined with computerized cutting, engineered designs and an experienced production team, it means greater consistency, efficient manufacturing and trusses built to fit the project they were designed for.

For builders and contractors, that precision helps support smoother installation, fewer on-site adjustments, better labour efficiency and more confidence that the truss package is ready to perform when it arrives.

From residential homes and multi-family projects to commercial builds, precision at the plant helps keep construction moving in the field.

Built with technology. Backed by experience. Ready for the jobsite.

Our open-web floor trusses deliver dependable structural strength while creating clear pathways for plumbing, electrical wiring, ductwork and ventilation.

For builders and contractors, the open design can mean faster installations, fewer on-site adjustments and better coordination between trades. It can also reduce the need for bulkheads, dropped ceilings and additional labour, helping projects move efficiently with better overall costs.

Engineered for each project, these floor systems can support longer clear spans, flexible layouts and a smoother build from production through installation.

Investing in the technology behind better builds 📐

Our Edmonton facility recently added a MiTek Auto 10 platen press, helping our team manufacture engineered roof and floor trusses with greater speed, precision and consistency.

Working alongside laser-guided setup technology, the system helps our team accurately position truss components before securely pressing connector plates into each joint. This supports consistent connections, efficient production and dependable quality from one truss to the next.

For builders, that means accurately manufactured components and trusses designed to fit together smoothly when they arrive on site.

It's another investment in the people, equipment and processes behind the engineered wood products Nelson Lumber customers have trusted for more than 75 years.
