What builders are saying
Roof trusses
Save time on site with prefabricated roof trusses from Dahlsens. Delivered to the site, ready to install, timber roof trusses are a cost effective solution for reducing build time and delays on site.
Wall frames
Prefabricated wall frames supplied by Dahlsens offer quality design and maximum efficiency by saving you time onsite. All jobs can be manufactured using treated timber – a benefit builders can sell to their end users.
Flooring systems
Dahlsens offer prefabricated flooring systems which not only speed up installation onsite, but also cater for long spans, cantilevers and depths to suit any loading requirement.
Pryda SpeedTruss™
Pryda SpeedTruss™ is a new and game-changing approach to roof truss design and installation available from Dahlsens. It’s a prefabricated truss system that functions like an assembly kit, incorporating pre-installed screws. The innovation reduces truss installation time by removing temporary fixing, and gets a thumbs up from certifiers for the accuracy it enforces on truss installation.
- Pre-installed screws make installation faster and safer
- Save up to a day installation time
- Does away with triple grips
- Most tie-downs at or below the top plate
- Covered by Producer Statement giving peace of mind for certification
Pryda FastFixTM Internal Wall Screw
FastFixTM Internal Wall Screw (IWS) is an innovative new solution from Pryda, that replaces the traditional and often incorrectly installed L Bracket which connects the bottom chords to wall frames.
A placement guide positions the screw vertically, with the correct off-sets to ensure it is driven up through the vertical centreline of the truss and the wall every time.
- A fast, compliant connection
- Real time savings in installation – up to half a day
- Lines up perfectly every time
- Installed from below the top plate, making it a safer work site
- With the IWS, builders can work just two rungs up a ladder

Visualise your 2D plan in 3D!
Dahlsens’ 3D View program is accessed via a QR Code that appears on your truss and frame manufactured plans to make it easy to understand the structure in the context of the surrounding space. In addition, 3D View gives you the following:
- A real 3D view of the finished project before lifting a finger
- The 3D model enables the homeowner to get a good understanding of how things will be laid out
- The 3D model can be rotated for different perspectives and to gather additional views
The 3D view can be used before, during and after installation of your frame, floor or truss to give you a better picture of how to start, key intersections and as a checking tool.
Ask for Dahlsens 3D View to be included on your next layout.
