Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Turkstra Stoney Creek – 370 Green Road
Attention Architects and Designers!
Design smarter, build faster, and reduce jobsite risk with a deeper understanding of panelization and prefabricated floor and roof truss systems. Join us for an informative session focused on how off-site manufactured components can elevate project efficiency, quality, and constructability. This session will be hosted by Rene Dam & Will Wiebenga of Turkstra Industries, who will share practical insights from real-world applications. Sign up below!
Session Highlights
Panelization & Truss Systems Overview
- What Is Panelization? Learn how pre-manufactured wall, floor and roof panels are designed, built, and installed—and why more projects are moving off-site.
- Floor & Roof Trusses. Explore the advantages of engineered truss systems, including long spans, design flexibility, material efficiency, and connection details.
- Why It Matters. Understand how prefabrication can improve schedule certainty, reduce labor demands, enhance quality control, and support sustainable construction goals.
Design & Coordination Considerations
- Architectural Integration. Learn how early design decisions impact panel and truss layouts, openings, loads, and connections.
- Coordination of Structure and Mechanical. Utilizing modelling software to identify conflicts.
- Common Challenges to Avoid. Key issues to watch for, including moisture management, transportation limits, site access, and sequencing.
