We have an annual tradition at the Building Component Manufacturers Conference (BCMC)—the Timber Products Inspection quality assurance challenge! This competition lets truss fabricators test their knowledge of ANSI/TPI 1 Chapter 3 requirements, and the winner receives a Yeti cooler.

How well do you understand quality? Are you measuring it correctly? Do you have a firm grasp of critical joints? How about the difference between precision and accuracy? Are you managing risk to the best of your ability?

Come by booth #1020 at BCMC Milwaukee, where you can meet experts in the truss industry who can answer your questions related to truss fabrication, lumber, and what it takes to be a certified plant.

Moreover, you’ll be able to learn how a qualified 3rd Party Inspection Company can add marketability and provide significant risk management to your operations. We’ll share tips on improving your company’s QA program, so you can better understand the benefits of working with a company like Timber Products Inspection.

At the show, we’ll also have copies of the ANSI/TPI 1 Chapter 3 booklet available for purchase. Produced by the Truss Plate Institute (TPI), this publication is an essential part of your in-house inspections program. It will be available for $30 plus applicable sales taxes and credit card service fees while supplies last at the show.

We invite you to come by our booth and test your QA skills. See you at the show!
