Roof design & estimating software

Roofs that fit the first time.

TrussForge takes your site measurements, checks them, and turns them into a 3D roof, trusses, a sheet layout and a quote. If a tape reading is off, you'll know before anything gets cut.

Sound familiar?

Most roofing mistakes start long before the roof goes up.

A tape reading was wrong

Nobody finds out until the trusses arrive on site and don't sit right.

Off-cuts eat the margin

Sheets and steel ordered by guesswork end up in the skip.

Quotes take days

Someone re-types every length into a spreadsheet, and the customer waits.

Drawings and orders disagree

The design changed, the materials list didn't.

Measurement check

Catch the bad reading while it's still cheap.

TrussForge builds the roof from your measurements and checks every reading against the others. If one doesn't add up, it tells you which one and by how much.

  • Every member checkedSee how far each reading is from the model, in millimetres.
  • One number for the whole surveyAn average error that tells you whether the job can go ahead.
  • Your toleranceSet ±5, ±10 or ±15 mm to suit the job.

How it works

From tape measure to cut list in five steps.

One model runs through every step, so the trusses, the sheets and the quote always describe the same roof.

01

Enter the roof

Import survey points or draw the footprint, then add pitches and lengths.

Footprint & eaves
02

Check the readings

TrussForge fixes every point in 3D and flags readings that don't agree.

Measurement report
03

Frame it

Pick a truss type and spacing. Chords, webs and overhangs are drawn for you.

Truss layout & shop drawings
04

Cover it

Choose a sheet profile. Laps, cuts and flashings are worked out.

Sheet layout & estimating

Every sheet counted before you order.

Sheets are laid across each roof plane with the hip cuts and laps worked out, then turned into a bill of quantities and a quote.

One version of the truth

Drawings, cut lists and quotes always match.

New staff up to speed

A specialist walks your team through its first real roof.

No. TrussForge is a Windows desktop app built for large 3D models. You download it and manage licences and your team through your customer portal on this site.

No. TrussForge has its own drawing tools. It exports DWG and DXF, so your drawings open in AutoCAD, BricsCAD and most other CAD software.

Yes. Import eave and wall points from a CSV file, or type site readings straight into the model.

Both. Use light-gauge steel sections or timber grades from the built-in libraries, or load your own.

Your models stay yours. Pick the modules you want to keep and we'll send a quote for your seats.

One roof model, from site readings to signed quote.

TrussForge is five modules that share one 3D model. Change a pitch or a reading and the trusses, the sheets and the bill of quantities all follow.

01 · 3D MODELER

Draw the roof the way it will be built.

A 3D workspace for wall footprints, eaves, ridges, valleys, hips and gables, shown in 3D as you draw.

  • Points in true 3D, with snapping
  • Offsets and boundary locks
  • Hip, valley, mansard, gambrel
  • Mixed pitches on one roof

02 · MEASUREMENT CHECK

Find the bad reading before the steel is cut.

TrussForge builds the roof from your perimeter, pitches and lengths, then checks every site reading against the result.

  • Flags misread tapes and sag
  • Error for every member
  • Average error for the survey
  • Tolerance set per job
Measurement reportExcel export
03 · TRUSS DESIGNER

Standard trusses, drawn and checked for you.

Fink, Howe, King Post, Queen Post, Scissors, Attic, Pratt and Warren, or your own profile, laid out at your spacing.

  • Span, pitch, heel & overhang
  • Dead, live & wind loads
  • Light-gauge steel or timber
  • Shop drawings & plate schedules

Licensing

How licences work.

One person using one module. If Ama uses the Modeler and the Truss Designer, that's two seats. Your admin assigns and moves seats from the customer portal.

Your licence includes a set number of computer activations. Deactivate an old machine in the portal to move TrussForge to a new one.

Yes. New seats run to your existing renewal date, so everything renews together.

Yes, for universities and technical colleges that teach roof and structural design. Get in touch.

    About us

    We build software for roofs that fit.

    Our story

    The gap between the tape and the truss.

    Roofs go wrong in the gaps between site measurements, the drawing and what gets ordered. A misread tape becomes a truss that doesn't fit, a pile of off-cuts and a quote that was wrong from the start.

    TrussForge closes those gaps. One 3D model, a check on every reading, trusses and sheets designed automatically, and a bill of quantities that always matches the drawings.

    We build it for the people who make roofs happen: fabricators, contractors, engineers and estimators who can't afford to find mistakes on site.

    What we believe

    Three rules we design by.

    Measure before you cut

    Every reading gets checked against the model. Mistakes are cheapest on screen.

    One model, every document

    Drawings, cut lists and quotes come from the same roof, so they never disagree.

    Built with the shop floor

    Features come from fabricators and installers, not from a checklist.
