Episode 36: Yes, you can build a whole home with a truss! Kim Aitkin

Kim Aitken shares her journey from Ireland to Scotland and into a diverse career spanning time with the British Army, Product Design Engineering, and Structural Engineering in Canada. She introduces Truss House™ - an innovative system using roof trusses as the primary structure to deliver faster, more efficient builds. Despite early hurdles, including a Dragon’s Den appearance and COVID-19 disruptions, the concept has gained strong traction in New Zealand through partnerships with Pryda and Bunnings Trade, with current plans on the drawing board for everything from modular to multi-storey housing.
