Hi everyone
I need a quick answer to the following:
Is a 1 cm "slope" on 2 m on a truss within the margin of error??...I hired a contractor and one of the trusses slopes that much

I mean 1 cm on 2m.........
It also sounds quite a lot. I don't know the rules, but in a fairly recent thread, I think it was about 5 mm on a normal height wall for walls. It should be in the same order of magnitude for roof trusses at least, so in that case, it is a bit much.
How long is the truss???
How's it going with the braces and the collar beam??? The longer the truss, the bigger the problem according to my opinion..,..
if it's also in the same room where you see the slope, it can be disturbing...

Now I don't know if it's the entire truss that's sloping or only the top chord or bottom chord. If it's just one truss or all of them, I also don't know if there is going to be a floor there...
But in any case, it's unfortunate if the top of the bottom chord differs between the different trusses, because it will mean a lot of extra work to lay a floor there. You'll need to add extra material and plane down in other places. It will mean many extra hours of work.
And we're talking about differences of around 2-5 mm when this problem starts becoming noticeable.

Thank you for your responses/comments
Let me clarify a bit more. I have only placed the pass on the underside of the truss. It is 4.80 long and it will only have a ceiling. It's certainly possible to get it straight, but it will be extra work for me. I have ordered the exterior finished and then I will do the interior. There shouldn't be anything on top, just an uninsulated "attic"...
Not all trusses slope...

If it is an authorized company, then you should of course ask them to fix it, it shouldn't need to be accepted so crookedly,,, If it had been a DIY project, it might have been acceptable, but professionals should know their job... File a complaint... They can raise with jacks and screw props afterwards, if they have gotten it on the swelling too...
