Any roofing joiners out there

[Whitewalker]

I was recommended a local suppliers for truss measurement and supply of all . The guy who is a builder suggested not to buy cheaper timber trusses as they are made of damper wood which can warp as it dries out. Any one come across this

Why?

Aesthetics. The roof should never dominate & if it looks bigger than the walls something is badly wrong. A hipped roof looks better with a shallower pitch. A gabled roof looks better with a steeper pitch. I like 57 degrees but I also like 35. A drawing helps as if done wrong, and there are a lot of not-very-nice-looking-buildings-out-there, you have to live with it forever
