L & L Manufactured Components

What L & L Manufactured Components does

L & L Manufactured Components (dba L&L Manufacturing; legal name L&L Manufactured Components) is a privately held, founder-owned truss manufacturer founded in 1984 by Charles "Charlie" Law and headquartered on an eight-acre facility at 1421 N 15th Ave, Tucson, Arizona. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, and delivers custom and standard engineered roof and floor trusses for the residential and commercial construction industries, serving a horizontal customer base that ranges from individual property owners building single custom homes to major regional builders constructing master-planned communities and commercial contractors. Its operating footprint is regional, concentrated in the Tucson and Phoenix Arizona markets.

The core product line comprises roof trusses (attic, scissor, common/standard, gable, flat roof, and custom/special types) and floor trusses that replace floor joists in multi-story and commercial structures. Production is technology-enabled rather than proprietary: the Engineering Department uses licensed MiTek Truss Design (CAD) software, and manufacturing relies on computer-controlled robotic saws, MiTek roller tables, and hydraulic A-frame gantries capable of handling trusses up to 65 feet long and 12 feet tall. All designs are approved and sealed by an independent third party (MiTek Engineering), and the facility holds Timber Products Inspection (TPI) certification authorizing application of the GTI quality mark demonstrating compliance with ANSI/TPI standards.

The business model is a make-to-order, sales-led manufacturing operation. Revenue is transaction-based: customers submit building plans, receive a custom quote covering materials and labor (estimates in a few business days; full design up to three weeks), and manufacturing is triggered on receipt of a purchase order. Design and engineering services are bundled into the truss quote rather than sold separately. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct, led by an outside sales team (Ben Allen, Head of Outside Sales), with distribution via the company's own delivery fleet using roll-off trailers to jobsites. Demand generation leans on content/SEO marketing (company blog, aztruss.com), SAHBA industry membership, and referral-driven repeat relationships.

Products and services

• Attic Trusses Roof trusses engineered with an open space at the center of the bottom chord and interlocking webs above and to the sides, creating usable attic space often used to house central air conditioning equipment and other utilities. Designed for residential construction projects in Arizona.
• Scissor Trusses Roof trusses designed for homes with vaulted ceilings, featuring a sloped bottom chord that rises toward the middle instead of a flat bottom chord. Built to L&L's engineered specifications for residential vaulted-ceiling applications.
• Common Trusses (Standard Trusses) Standard symmetrical roof trusses with identical pitch on both sides of a center peak, suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial roofing applications.
• Gable Trusses End trusses located at either end of a roof, featuring additional webbing to allow for the attachment of exterior building materials such as siding or roof sheathing.
• Special Trusses (Custom Trusses) Custom-designed roof trusses manufactured for unlimited applications based on specific building plans and project requirements, leveraging L&L's full design and engineering capability.
• Flat Roof Trusses Roof trusses engineered for flat roofs with a slight slope to enable water runoff, distributing roof weight while using minimal vertical space. Designed for residential and commercial flat-roof applications.
• Floor Trusses Engineered floor trusses that replace traditional floor joists in multi-story homes and commercial buildings, providing the ceiling for the lower level and the floor of the upper level. Designed for long spans and consistent performance in multi-story residential and commercial construction.
• Custom Design & Engineering Services In-house engineering service using sophisticated CAD software (MiTek Truss Design Software) to create final truss designs from customer-submitted building plans, which are then approved and sealed by an independent third party (MiTek Engineering). Includes rough estimates and full truss designs bundled into the overall quote for truss orders.

Others

• MiTek Industries: Provider of truss design software, manufacturing equipment (roller tables, gantries, saws), and third-party engineering review to the truss industry. Comparable not as a competitor but as the core technology partner powering L&L's design, manufacturing, and quality workflows.
• TPI (Timber Products Inspection): Independent third-party inspection and certification body that administers the Truss Quality Auditing Program and ANSI/TPI standards. Comparable as the regulatory/certification partner underpinning L&L's quality mark and structural credibility in the market.

Broad incumbents

• Builders FirstSource: Large national building products supplier that operates truss and component manufacturing facilities across multiple states, including Arizona. Comparable because they manufacture roof and floor trusses at scale alongside broader building materials distribution, directly overlapping with L&L's core manufactured products.
