TF and Truss suppliers are milking it.

I think they remain decent value for their standard models, which are designed for maximum efficiency, don't need redesigning and have negligible risk.

Then add transport, hoisting and then overhead and profit for a business in a factory.

 

Stick built has timber straight to site at best price, and the joiner working for you (or the main contractor) not for the factory. But there may be design costs, more can go wrong, and it takes longer on site.
