How does it work?

Learn what’s behind our unique and innovative truss removal system

Three distinct options –
One clear solution for each project

We offer flexible installation options tailored to your needs, with self-installation being our most popular choice.

OPTION 1

FOR TRADE & SELF-BUILD

Self-Installation

Our Most Preferred Option

This choice is perfect for competent homeowners or self-builders who are capable of truss removal and installing the ecoTrus system with the assistance of our local technical officer.

Here’s how it works:

  • Onsite Evaluation: Begin with an onsite visit from our local technical officer. During this visit, we collect precise measurements of your loft space.
  • 3D Design: We then embark on the design phase, creating a detailed 3D rendering of the structure, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your vision.
  • Revision and Confirmation: Upon completion of the 3D design, we revisit your site with the loft stripped down to double-check measurements and offer you a firsthand view of the project in 3D and augmented reality (AR).
  • Delivery: Once everything is finalized, we proceed with the delivery of the complete system, including a comprehensive fixings pack.
  • Installation Oversight: Throughout the truss removal and installation process, our dedicated technical officer oversees the system installation to ensure it’s executed seamlessly.

This approach empowers homeowners to take the reins of their loft conversion project while benefiting from expert guidance, ensuring a successful and rewarding outcome.

DESIGN & BUILD EXCELLENCE

Architect-Led

Tailored for larger and more intricate properties, our Architect-Led Design-Build approach is the epitome of efficiency and effectiveness. At ecoTrus, we have cultivated strong partnerships with regional architects who seamlessly integrate in-house building services. This collaboration ensures a harmonious process where architects and builders offer solutions rather than obstacles, resulting in a smoothly managed and cost-effective project from start to finish.

Advantages of Architect-Led Design-Build:

  • Built for Practicality: The concept of ‘buildability’ is embedded in the design process right from the outset, ensuring that your project is not only visually appealing but also structurally sound and efficient.
  • Streamlined Management: All consultants and subcontractors are under the direct management of a single architect.
    This cohesion results in a more streamlined and efficient process, delivering better value and significantly reducing the chances of delays or cost overruns.
  • Comprehensive Services: With this approach, you can expect the full package, including architectural design, staircase solutions, means of escape planning, and u-value considerations.
  • Visual Insight: Benefit from 3D renders, room planning, and schedule planning, providing you with a clear and detailed vision of your project.
  • One-Point of Contact: Throughout the entirety of your project, you’ll have a single point of contact—your architect—who will provide you with continuous guidance and updates, ensuring that your vision is realized seamlessly.

When you choose our Architect-Led Design-Build option, you’re choosing a holistic, well-coordinated, and efficient approach that maximizes value, saves time, and minimizes any potential hiccups in your project.
