INDUSTRY CHALLENGE

THE WORK IS THERE. THE CAPACITY OFTEN ISN’T.

Most component manufacturers aren’t short on projects. They’re short on the design hours needed to keep up with them — without sacrificing accuracy, turnaround, or production schedules.

Designer Shortages

Experienced truss and component designers are hard to find, expensive to train, and even harder to keep. Hiring takes months. The backlog doesn’t wait.

Uneven Workload

Demand doesn’t arrive evenly. A staff sized for a normal month gets buried during a busy one — and sits underused when things slow down.

Production Pressure

Every day a project sits in the design queue is a day it’s not on the production floor. Delays upstream become missed ship dates downstream.

Designer Burnout

Stretching one or two designers across too much work for too long doesn’t just slow projects down — it’s how you lose your best people. Replacing a burned-out designer costs more than the overtime ever did.

This is the gap most manufacturers are quietly absorbing — through overtime, missed deadlines, or turned-down work. It doesn’t have to be.

DESIGN SUPPORT BUILT FOR MANUFACTURERS


We Work Like Part of Your Team — Not Something You Have to Manage

We Work Like Part of Your Team — Not Something You Have to Manage

We Work Like Part of Your Team — Not Something You Have to Manage

CDP gives manufacturers real design output without the months it takes to recruit, onboard, and train permanent staff — and without the back-and-forth of managing an outside vendor.

Overflow Design Capacity

Additional design support during busy seasons, backlog situations, or sudden demand spikes.

How It Works

You send projects as they come in. We turn them around on your timeline. No retainer, no minimum commitment — scale up when you need it, scale down when you don’t.

Dedicated Design Support

A dedicated designer who works inside your workflow — using your standards, your templates, your software setup — while you recruit, train, or stabilize your team.

How It Works

You get day-to-day availability without adding headcount.

Specialized Technical Support

Depth on the harder project types: wall panels, EWP, LVL, multifamily, and BIM/3D modeling — for teams that need a specialist without hiring one.

How It Works

Send the project types your in-house team doesn’t handle often. We handle the technical complexity; you keep ownership of the client relationship.

No long-term contracts. No staffing fees. You only pay for design work, when you need it.

DESIGN SERVICES

DESIGN SUPPORT ACROSS YOUR COMPONENT WORKFLOW

Roof truss, floor truss, wall panel, and EWP design support delivered to your company’s standards and production requirements.

HOW ACCESS WORKS

WE WORK WITHIN YOUR EXISTING SYSTEMS

To help maintain consistency with your materials, standards, and production processes, Component Design Partners works within client-approved software environments whenever possible.

Most manufacturers already have established software, inventories, design standards, and production workflows. Rather than asking you to change those systems, we adapt to them.

Support can be provided through client-approved remote access environments, cloud workstations, VPN connections, remote desktop solutions, or company-issued devices, depending on your organization’s requirements.

Every engagement is protected by confidentiality agreements and clearly defined service terms designed to protect both parties.

Your Systems, Your Standards

We work within the software, standards, and workflows your team already uses.

Secure and Controlled Access

Access methods are determined by your IT and management teams and can be structured to meet company security requirements.

Built for Accuracy

Working within approved environments helps maintain consistency with material inventories, design standards, and production requirements.

The goal is simple: provide additional design support without requiring major changes to the systems and processes your team already relies on.

Familiarity With Installation Requirements

Designs Developed With Manufacturing, Delivery, and Field Performance in Mind

We don’t just know a design passed.


We understand why it works, how it will be built, and what happens after it leaves the design department.


That perspective comes from real-world experience with component manufacturing, production workflows, and field installation — not just design software.
