JL Schwieters has been supplying truss packages to Wurzer Builders since July 2022. In that time, we have collaborated on more than 75 projects spanning custom single-family homes and multi-unit townhomes -- consistently delivering 4 to 5 buildings worth of trusses per month to keep pace with Wurzer's active build schedule.
The trusses we manufacture for Timber Bluff span upwards of 50 feet, requiring precise engineering to ensure structural performance across both smaller custom homes and larger townhome configurations. Every order is manufactured at our Hugo, MN facility and delivered approximately 80 miles to the job site -- arriving undamaged and ready for installation. At 4-5 buildings a month over 75+ projects, that delivery record is not luck. It is the result of careful packaging, reliable logistics, and a manufacturing process that does not cut corners.
What keeps a builder like Wurzer coming back for more than 75 projects is not just a competitive price -- it is lead time they can count on. Our manufacturing lead time for Timber Bluff trusses is under four weeks, which means Wurzer can plan their framing schedule with confidence rather than waiting on a supplier who cannot commit to a date. When you are building 4-5 buildings a month, a truss supplier who slips on timing does not just delay one job -- it stalls the whole pipeline.
For builders in the Twin Cities metro and greater Minnesota working on consistent residential production schedules, Timber Bluff is a direct example of what a reliable long-term truss partnership looks like at volume.

For Timber Bluff and the Wurzer Builders partnership, our manufacturing lead time is under four weeks. For a builder running 4-5 buildings per month, that predictability is essential -- it means framing crews can be scheduled with confidence rather than waiting on a supplier who cannot commit to a delivery date. Our in-house manufacturing at our Hugo, MN facility gives us direct control over lead times in a way that truss suppliers who outsource production cannot match.
-
Timber Bluff trusses travel approximately 80 miles from our Hugo, MN plant to the job site. Arriving undamaged at that distance -- consistently, across 75+ projects -- requires careful bundling, proper load sequencing, and drivers who understand how trusses behave in transit. We handle packaging and delivery in-house, which means we own the outcome rather than handing the load to a third-party carrier and hoping for the best. A damaged truss on a production build schedule is an expensive problem -- our process is designed to make it a non-issue.
