Few components influence the structural integrity and final budget of a new home more than roof trusses. When spans extend to 60 feet, the stakes rise quickly. Understanding the real 60 foot trusses price—and all the variables that shape it—helps homeowners, builders, and designers keep projects on track. CountBricks specializes in data-driven residential estimating, and this guide pools our on-site experience with the speed of our AI engine so you can plan with confidence.
• Greater span means heavier loads and stricter engineering requirements
• Delivery logistics often involve oversized transport and cranes
• Minor design tweaks can swing material usage by hundreds of board feet
• Labor crews need specialized rigging and extra safety planning
1. Lumber Market Volatility – Southern yellow pine or SPF price jumps ripple straight into truss quotes.
2. Engineering Complexity – Longer spans demand higher grade chords, thicker webs, and sometimes steel plates or glulam inserts.
3. Roof Geometry – A high-pitch hip roof adds more pieces than a low-slope gable.
4. Loading Requirements – Snow loads in mountain suburbs can add double top cords or heavier metal connectors.
5. Fabrication Lead Time – Rush orders raise plant overtime and freight premiums.
6. Jobsite Access – Narrow city lots may require street closures and larger cranes.
CountBricks’ nationwide database shows most 60-foot residential trusses landing between $10 and $14 per square foot of roof area. For a 60' × 40' footprint, that equals:
• $24,000 on the low side for simple gable designs in low-load regions
• $33,600 for complex hips, high snow loads, or premium lumber markets
Add crane rental, temporary bracing, and disposal and the installed 60 foot trusses price typically reaches $28,000 to $39,000.
CountBricks.com/services leverages voice-to-estimate technology and blueprint AI to automate what used to take days:
1. Speak your room dimensions and roof style—our engine captures every measurement in real time.
2. Upload architectural PDFs—AI takeoff isolates truss layouts, heel heights, and bearing points.
3. The platform cross-references live lumber indexes, local labor rates, and crane tariffs to generate a truss package price in seconds.
4. A branded PDF quote and editable materials list are ready for your client before you hang up the phone.
• Consolidate bearing walls to reduce required web members.
• Opt for raised-heel trusses only where insulation depth justifies the extra lumber.
• Schedule delivery for crane “day-rates” rather than hourly billing.
• Use CountBricks comparative estimates to negotiate bulk lumber purchases.
Do 60-foot trusses require interior supports? With proper engineering, most residential 60-foot spans stay clear-span. CountBricks engineers flag interior posts only when loads exceed code limits.
Can metal plate connectors replace glulam upgrades? Sometimes. Our AI estimator weighs connector cost versus lumber upgrades to recommend the cheaper option that still meets code.
How long is lead time? Nationally, 3-4 weeks is typical. CountBricks monitors real-time plant schedules and alerts you if slots open sooner.

When Redwood Construction approached CountBricks to price a 4,800 sq ft modern home perched on a Los Angeles hillside, the initial supplier quote for eleven 60-foot mono trusses came in at $37,500. Site constraints demanded helicopter lifts, and the budget was already strained.
1. Voice Call Discovery – In a five-minute call, our estimator captured roof pitch changes, overhang lengths, and access restrictions while the superintendent was still on site.
2. AI Blueprint Optimization – The software flagged three trusses where minor wall shifts could shorten the span to 56 feet, eliminating the need for premium MSR lumber.
3. Real-Time Lumber Indexing – By locking pricing during a mid-month market dip, CountBricks saved $4.20 per board foot on select structural pieces.
4. Logistics Re-Routing – Our database showed a local crane operator with hillside experience. Switching from airlift to a 200-ton telescopic crane cut lift costs by $3,800.
The revised CountBricks proposal landed at $32,960—over 12 percent lower than the original supplier quote—without compromising architectural intent. The homeowner signed within 24 hours, impressed by the speed and transparency of the AI-enhanced process.
• Engage CountBricks early. Design tweaks are cheaper on paper than in the field.
• Use our live materials tracker to lock lumber when markets dip—historically mid-month or Friday afternoons.
• Bundle truss, sheathing, and fasteners into one CountBricks order to leverage volume discounts.
