PREFACE

The construction of cold-formed steel roof trusses has been widely used in Malaysia promoted
under the implementation of Industrialized Building System (IBS) championed by Construction
Industry Development Board (CIDB).

The objective of this Specification is to provide a basis for the prefabricated cold-formed steel
roof truss and to ensure establish minimum design, material application and quality assurance in
delivering this product. Whereas, Construction Guidelines is written to provide Guidelines for
good construction practice in delivering this product.

Both documents compliment the JKR’s SPECIFICATION PRE FABRICATED COLD

FORMED STEEL ROOF TRUSSES and also fill the knowledge gaps in cold-formed steel
industry at Malaysia. These documents were written for all prefabricated cold-formed steel roof
trusses for, but not limited to residential; agricultural; institutional; commercial or buildings for
temporary purpose. It can be adopted and used by developers, building professionals and
members in this cold-formed steel industry.

The salient features of this Specification are:

 Adopting a simple method in measuring minimum section requirements in enhancing and
ensuring minimum quality is attained.
 The basic design requirements such as loading and reference codes or standards are also
detailed.
 Detailed documentation requirements.

I am in debt to the technical committee members and reviewers for their contributions and
support to these two documents. We trust that these two documents will be widely adopted as the
Specification for the Prefabricated Cold-formed Steel Roof Truss and Industry’s guideline.
