Mather Truss Manufacturer — Industrial Redevelopment & Production Housing
Mather's identity is the former Mather Air Force Base — and the redevelopment splits cleanly into commercial and aviation truss work on the airport side (hangar adaptive reuse, warehouse infill, long-span industrial) plus high-volume production residential tract framing for Anatolia and Sunridge phases on the south. Walker handles both off the same engineering floor.

"Mather is a dual-track market for us. Mather Commerce Center and the old flightline drive industrial truss demand — 40 to 80-foot clear spans, hangar girders, warehouse retrofits. Then Anatolia and Sunridge across the line run as standard production residential. We're stamping both code paths off the same shop."

Truss FAQs for Mather
01 How quickly can Walker Lumber turn around a Mather truss quote?
Walker turns around an engineered truss quote within 48 hours of receiving architect's plans for a Mather project. Once engineering is approved, production lead time is 3–4 weeks, with rush capability at 10–14 days when the schedule demands it. Call (916) 338-2121 to get started — our engineering team will follow up with any plan-check questions specific to Mather.
02 Can Walker Lumber deliver trusses to Mather on schedule?
Yes — Mather is well within our standard delivery range. Our manufacturing plant is at 6915 30th Street in North Highlands (Sacramento metro), and most Mather packages arrive on the schedule the framer asked for. Standard production lead time is 3–4 weeks from approved engineering, with rush capability at 10–14 days when the schedule demands it.
03 Which Sacramento County office issues permits for Mather truss work?
Mather falls under unincorporated Sacramento County, so permits go through Sacramento County Building Permits & Inspection Division at (916) 875-5296 — not the incorporated city offices used by neighboring towns. County plan-check typically runs longer than city plan-check, and we build that into every quote. Our stamped truss packages are formatted to clear Sacramento County review on the first submission.
04 What types of trusses does Walker Lumber supply for Mather projects?
We supply the full range — common roof trusses (gable, hip, scissor, vaulted), floor trusses (for both standard residential and podium-construction multi-family), girder trusses, and long-span profiles for ag and commercial work. Our engineering team stamps every package to the code path applicable in Mather (CA Title 24, with city-specific amendments as needed).
05 What kind of commercial truss work does Walker Lumber do in Mather?
Mather is a commercial / industrial market for us — warehouse, hangar, and distribution-center truss work along Mather Airport / former AFB and Mather Commerce Center. We engineer 40-80'+ long-span profiles, hangar girders for the aviation footprint, and tilt-up infill packages. Former-base brownfield-to-commercial redevelopment drives most of the pipeline. Permits through Sacramento County Building Permits & Inspection Division; engineering stamped to commercial code expectations.
