Checking roof-truss installation information

This checklist helps confirm documents and responsibilities; it does not replace a designer or installation plan.

Updated 2026-09-10

Collect the issued documents

Confirm the truss layout, individual profiles, bearings, permanent bracing and restraint details, connection information and revision status.

Plan temporary stability

The contractor must plan safe lifting, placement and temporary restraint for the actual site. Follow competent design and HSE roof-work guidance rather than a generic sequence.

Inspect and record

Agree checks for damage, position, bearings, bracing and unauthorised alterations. Escalate discrepancies before covering the work and retain the accepted records.
