UBC team outing = fun, laughter, and zero meetings! 🎉 A day well spent bonding, relaxing, and creating memories.
All dressed up and spreading Christmas cheer at the UBC office party! 🎄✨ The celebration got even more special with our charity visit to Telangana Government’s Sishuvihar for women and children welfare. Style, smiles, and kindness—that’s how UBC celebrates the season.

This project showcases a compact yet robust hybrid construction designed for performance, precision, and constructability. The 1-storey building, spanning 1,633 sft in Idaho, USA with a mono roof, integrates a hybrid structural system combining Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) and Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) to achieve optimal strength and efficiency.
Our scope covered structural engineering, 3D modeling, detailed shop drawings, and CNC production files, ensuring seamless coordination from design through fabrication. The structure is supported on a stem-wall foundation and secured using STHD14 hold-downs, providing reliable shear wall hold-down connections for effective seismic load transfer to the foundation.
Advanced detailing ensured alignment with fabrication requirements, site conditions, and installation sequencing, minimizing rework and maximizing accuracy. This project highlights our expertise in delivering integrated hybrid solutions that combine engineering precision with constructible design—ready for efficient manufacturing and smooth on-site execution.
Technical Snippet
TJC Jack Truss Connector Used in Our Project
Our team utilized the TJC Jack Truss Connector to efficiently connect the jack trusses, ensuring a secure and reliable structural connection. The connector’s adjustable design (0°–85°) and pre-bent 67.5° angle allowed for quick installation while accommodating the required truss geometry. Its optimized nail hole configuration simplified the installation process and helped improve on-site productivity.
Key Highlights:
- Used 16 ga. (54 mil) galvanized (G90) steel TJC connectors.
- Installed the connector in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended nailing pattern to achieve the required structural performance.
- Maintained the specified edge distances to minimize the risk of wood splitting.
- Positioned the jack trusses flush with the bend line before bending the connector to the required angle.
- No bevel cuts were required, reducing fabrication time and simplifying installation.
- Verified the connection geometry to ensure proper alignment and load transfer between the carried and supporting chord members.
This connection provided a practical, efficient, and code-compliant solution for the jack truss installation while improving overall constructability.
