Wood Trusses
Custom-manufactured wood trusses provide structural support for residential and commercial buildings. Our southern yellow pine trusses offer cost-effective solutions with ease of installation. Open web designs allow for efficient mechanical system integration while maintaining structural integrity.
Steel Trusses
Light gauge steel trusses deliver superior strength-to-weight ratios for non-combustible construction requirements. These corrosion-resistant components withstand environmental stressors while maintaining dimensional stability over time. Ideal for commercial applications requiring fire-resistant structural systems.
Engineered Wood
Precision-engineered wood products transform small-diameter trees into high-performance structural components. Our inventory includes joists, laminated veneer lumber, and rimboard solutions that optimize material efficiency while meeting strict building code requirements for modern construction projects.
Steel Panels
Prefabricated light gauge steel wall panels combine structural efficiency with construction speed. Our quality-controlled manufacturing process ensures precise component placement with customizable insulation and sheathing options. Reduces on-site labor costs through rapid installation capabilities.
Timber Trusses
Heavy timber trusses create distinctive architectural features for residential and commercial spaces. Available with traditional joinery or modern steel plate connections, these components offer both structural support and aesthetic appeal through custom finish options.

Report
Jeff at Okaw told us it would be about a week, two at the most, before he finishes the trusses on our plans. 6 weeks later--after we told his boss who promised he would be done in a week--Jeff tells us his "other" customers come first but he can still do our trusses when he gets to them. It was the single most unprofessional experience I have ever had. In addition to this our contractors have been waiting for well over a month to start the project and they have been apologizing for even recommending Okaw. I have no proof of this but I believe that either the fact that the general contractor is a woman or that we are people of color building a high end home had something to do with this.
