Bespoke timber
trusses

New Zealand's best timber truss maker, Heritage Timbercraft, use locally grown Douglas-fir or Macrocarpa and make all trusses by hand in their Hawke's Bay timber yard

We have developed a range of structural roof trusses made from New Zealand grown timber that add unparalleled strength and beauty to any design. We realise that people do not always want a full timber frame but often desire solid timber features in their home to create atmosphere and set it apart. Our engineered timber trusses create an attractive open plan space with vaulted ceilings, whilst adding the texture and warmth of solid timber. Incorporating our structural roof trusses can cost effectively transform your home or outdoor living space.

Add value to a home with bespoke timber trusses

Bespoke designs

Something often overlooked, or not known - even by most architects - is that a feature roof truss made with mortise and tenon joinery, using untreated New Zealand grown timber - can replace the steel portals which are typically used in New Zealand homes with feature trusses, which we can easily engineer.

Bespoke timber trusses NZ

Our feature roof trusses are inspired by timeless designs; they provide strength, durability and versatility. We meticulously choose premium-quality timber, sourced and milled by our team or similar small scale family owned mills around the country. This careful selection process guarantees that each beam is not just a fundamental structural element, but also a reflection of superior craftsmanship and artistry, embodying our commitment to quality and sustainability.


We are passionate about handcrafted quality, nurtured over decades of experience in traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which is evident in every roof truss we create. We produce our joinery in adherence to the NZ Building Code and ensure each truss is structurally sound, with PS1 certification to aid your building consent application.
