$3M to scale advanced prefabrication capacity through automation
AG Trusses has been awarded $3 million through the West Australian Government’s Housing Innovation Fund Grant — recognition of the company’s commitment to innovation in timber prefabrication and its role in addressing WA’s housing needs.
The funding will be directed toward scaling advanced prefabrication capacity through automation at the Armadale facility, accelerating the speed and volume at which timber trusses and frames can be delivered to builders right across Perth and regional WA.
The announcement was marked by a visit from Matt Keogh, Federal Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Member of Parliament for Burt, who toured the Armadale factory to see the operation firsthand.
“Thank you to Jacq and the team, who showed me how they’re turning WA timber into housing frames that can be up within a day.”

Minister Keogh’s visit underscored the broader significance of AG Trusses’ work — not just as a manufacturing business, but as a key contributor to solving one of WA’s most pressing challenges: getting more homes built, faster.
With this investment, AG Trusses is well positioned to deliver even greater value to builders and the communities they serve across the state.
A huge thank you to our team, clients, suppliers, and partners for being part of this journey — and to the Government of Western Australia and the Department of Energy and Economic Diversification for supporting local manufacturing and innovation.
