William Corgan - Project Manager

Bill began his truss design career at a new plant in Springfield, Illinois in October 2001.  In January 2002, the plant switched to MiTek’s eFrame Layout program when the product was still in Beta testing. Due to Bill’s efforts, they became the first truss plant in the USA to use MiTek eFrame Layout for production and due to Bill’s passion to get “under the hood” they remained a beta test site for MiTek for the next 8 years.  During his 11 years as the senior and sometimes, only, designer, he was responsible for all aspects of a job from the initial quote to the final shop drawings. He was also responsible for the company’s computer network and managed every installation of the MiTek software on all machines. Bill stayed with that company until September of 2012.

Due to his outstanding abilities at maximizing the power of the MiTek software above and beyond the typical user, Bill was invited by MiTek to attend a unique meeting in Orlando, Florida called, “High-Performance Designers”. This was a think tank setting comprised of the country’s most progressive designers and design managers and MiTek gleaned much from Bill’s participation in this event.

Bill was also responsible for training all new employees on the proper use of MBA, MiTek eFrame Layout, MiTek TrussFramer, SAPPHIRE Structure and MiTek Engineering. He’s a firm believer that an exacting model for every building creates less opportunity for mistakes and his work produced very few errors in the field. Because of that conviction, all his building models included interior walls, proper ceiling planes, proper roof planes, posts, and beams. He preferred to serve his customers with exacting layouts, making sure everything was as geometrically perfect as possible rather than pacifying an unhappy builder with timely service in producing field repairs.
