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.
Partnering with Pryda

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
- 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
- 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
Termite treated blue pine
Protecting homes from the inside out, termite treated blue pine gives homeowners a sense of security and reduces the need for regular treatments with costly chemical sprays.
- 25-year warranty against structural termite damage
- Little to no post-construction maintenance
- Safe for homeowners, visitors to their homes and their pets
