Truss Design & Estimating with LFT Strategies

Faster Quotes. Smarter Designs. Bigger Profits.

Struggling with costly mistakes, slow estimates, and production delays? LFT Strategies is here to change that. Our approach to Truss Design & Estimating puts precision, speed, and profitability at the center of your operation. With over 78+ years of hands-on experience, we know what works — and we teach your team how to do it.

Why Truss Design Matters

Design isn’t just drafting — it’s engineering your entire process. Precise designs aren’t just for looks — they drive efficiency on the production floor and improve communication with customers. If your team isn’t designing with speed and accuracy, you’re already behind.

Clear, precise truss designs reduce costly errors, rework, and field issues.

Faster designs mean faster production and more satisfied customers.
Our design training builds your team’s skills in stages — from basic concepts to advanced design strategies. No overwhelm, just clear progress.
We teach your team to see beyond the “lines” on the screen. Truss design is more than a drawing — it’s about efficiency, material usage, and production flow. We help your designers understand how their work impacts the factory floor, so every design they produce is more efficient and ready for production.

Why Estimating Matters

Win more jobs. Protect your margins. Be first to market. A strong estimating process is your plant’s competitive edge. Accurate estimates don’t just close deals — they make sure you’re pricing for profit. If you’re losing bids to competitors or eating costs on the backend, it’s time to rethink your approach.

With LFT EstiMax win more bids with professional, detailed, and timely estimates.
Proper estimating ensures you’re quoting with profit in mind, not guesswork
With LFT EstiMax be the first to quote, and you’ll be the first to win. Don’t wait days or weeks to get back to customers. Respond first.
We prioritize efficiency and speed because your estimating process should never be a guessing game. Our training empowers your team to master LFT EstiMax, enabling them to complete quotes faster and more accurately while safeguarding your bottom line. You’ll learn to uncover hidden costs, navigate material fluctuations, and deliver precise quotes every time.
