Check the builders engineering drawings..no doubt it will say engineered Floor trusses by others? and since the builder doesn't pay his Engineer to inspected the trusses and nor did you.. Caveat Emptor Personally I would have been very unhappy if those trusses were installed in my house do you have other photos of the trusses.

All houses take 6-12 months to settle (season/year cycle), loads are redistributed, Unfortunately, that generally takes you outside of the maintenance period if problems persist or get worse 2..Placing extra screws into the truss nodes doesn't stiffen the trusses, but it does highlight a potential problem with them 3.I suggest you start with a copy of the certified structural Engineering Drawings, If the builders hasn't given it to you , check with your local Council building Department..ask for a copy... hth Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Steel joists issue and builder won’t give info 8Nov 25, 2018 3:57 pm .

Engineering drawings are signed by an engineer.Please check with your Councils Building department for a signed copy Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Steel joists issue and builder won’t give info 10Nov 27, 2018 3:31 am .
