Truss Plant
OUR COMPUTER-DESIGNED TRUSS PLANT
Trusses are a critical component of every project, and quality can dictate the success and efficiency of your build. Our computer-designed trusses are intricately crafted to maximize build times, improve efficacy, and reduce material usage where possible. As a member of the Western Wood Truss Association, Star adheres to firm standards in quality control and best practices.
Our experienced designers work with you to provide cost-effective and high-quality truss solutions to suit your needs. Planning from the very beginning of the project, our trusses are designed and manufactured to fit your overall design and to install effortlessly.
SawTek And Engineered Wood Products
INNOVATING YOUR BUILDING PROCESSES WITH SAWTEK
At Star, we know construction is about more than the building materials. How these materials are used in the building process is a significant factor in the success of a project. Errors can occur when materials are cut incorrectly, compromising structural integrity or creating a need for repair work, reducing overall efficiency and increasing costs.
Our engineered wood products are prepared using the state-of-the-art Boise Cascade Sawtek, a precision cut saw nicknamed “The Beast”. Pre-cut utility holes eliminate errors by HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. Lengths are precision-cut to one-sixteenth of an inch, significantly saving on material waste and disposal costs. Inkjet-marked pieces match color coded framing plans to eliminate installation errors on-site. Pre-marked/pre-cut framing packages arrive on the job site ready to install. The Boise Cascade Sawtek is the first saw of its kind in Canada. Our investment in this technology gives our clients an advantage in terms of material quality, efficient processes, and overall cost reduction.
Lumber Yard
OUR COMPREHENSIVE LUMBER YARD
Since starting our journey as a lumber yard over 60 years ago, we have grown to become one of the most comprehensive lumber yards in the market. Operating from our 31 acre site in Rocky View County, we carry a diverse selection of lumber, including Spruce, Pine, Fir, Permanent Wood Foundation (PWF), Pressure Treated Brown, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Plywood, and more.
Our lumber is available in varying widths and lengths, including per MBF (thousand board feet) for those working on larger projects.
We started our expansion in 2019, growing our operations in Rocky View County to better meet market demand, prepare for future growth, and add new, leading-edge technology through the installation of the first Boise Cascade precision cut saw in Canada, as well as The Ranger, Blade Saw, and Wall Panel Facility.
Our distribution yard is responsible for the efficient fulfillment of building materials orders and engineered wood products (EWP) materials.
Warehouses
BUILDING MATERIALS WAREHOUSES
Star Building operates from its Rocky View County location, featuring a newly renovated 30,000 sq ft warehouse that supports a wide range of building supplies. This facility houses products such as windows, exterior finishes, insulation, drywall, tools, hardware, and more.
In 2019, a brand-new Warehouse Management System (WMS) was implemented to support more efficient operations and enhanced customer service. Scan guns replaced pen and paper for standard processes, enabling real-time inventory tracking and product movement. This system helps us stay on top of market demand and remain cost-efficient for our buyers.
Interior Finishings
We offer a wide range of Interior Finish Products to help complete every space with style, function, and lasting quality. Our selection includes bath accessories, door levers and locks, doors, mouldings, and more—carefully chosen to meet both design and performance needs.

Prefabricated Wall Panel Plant
OUR PREFABRICATED WALL PANEL PLANT
Star Building is consistently implementing new ways to provide homebuilders quality construction options. In 2020, Star Building introduced a wall panel plant at its North Star location.
Prefabricated wall panels improve on-site efficiencies, decrease construction times, and reduce overall costs to homebuilders. Wall panels also reduce material waste and improve accuracy in placement of beams and posts. Our laser-accurate process ensures your wall panels are built for quality and fit.
