The document outlines procedures for the preparation of stamped shop drawings for the design of wood truss systems. It states that all wood truss systems must be designed by a professional engineer. It describes the roles and responsibilities of the structural engineer of record, truss fabricator, and contractor. The structural engineer of record is responsible for completing the design documents. The truss fabricator prepares shop drawings based on these documents. The contractor is responsible for ensuring installation matches the shop drawings. Appendices A and B describe the information that must be included in the design documents and shop drawings respectively.
