For a plan I am moving off the boards, one for which part of the roof can be either stickframed or trussed, I took three quotes for the package, all three were from lumberyards, because none of the truss plants sell direct here.
As can be seen, a scissors arrangement with 25'4" span, 12 pitch on top, 7 pitch on bottom, is broken for transport and has a cap. The other, a monotruss with half the span, is done as one part.
Seven (7) required of the scissors/cap set, and six (6) of the monos.
Price quotes, delivered but with sales tax to be added, were $1250, $1775, and $2750.
Quite a spread, eh? Quotes all look pretty much apples to apples. Drawings, member sizes, loads, reactions, etc., all same.
