Abstract
A frame truss made of two walls and a roof structure. Each of the two walls have an outer and inner chord. The outer and inner chords of each respective wall are not parallel, but the inner chords of the two walls are parallel to each other. The arrangement of the inner and outer chords of each wall creates an exterior overhang with respect to the ground. Each of the walls converge at their bases and are attached at their bases to a plate. The roof structure attaches to the top of each of the walls and spans between them creating a frame that can be assembled in conjunction with similar frames to construct a building system.

A frame truss comprising:
- a first wall truss comprising:
- a first inner chord comprising:
- a first end that is configured to couple with a first template plate, and
- a first length;
- a first outer chord having a first end that is configured to couple with the first template plate, the first outer chord being non-parallel to the first inner chord, the first inner chord having a second end configured to couple with an upper truss, and the first outer chord having a second end configured to couple with the upper truss;
- and
- a second wall truss comprising:
- a second inner chord comprising:
- a first end that is configured to couple with a second template plate, and
- a second length, wherein the first length of the first inner chord is different from the second length of the second inner chord;
- a second outer chord having a first end configured to couple with the second template plate, the second outer chord being non-parallel to the second inner chord;
- the second inner chord having a second end configured to couple with the upper truss, and the second outer chord having a second end configured to couple with the upper truss;
- wherein the first inner chord is substantially parallel to the second inner chord.

- a first upper roof chord,
- a second upper roof chord, and
- a lower-most roof chord with a first end, wherein the first end of the lower-most roof chord is coupled to the lower roof chord between the first end and the second end of the lower roof chord;
- a first template plate,
- a first wall comprising:
- a first inner chord having a first end coupled to the first template plate and a second end coupled to the lower roof chord,
- a first outer chord having a third end coupled to the first template plate and a fourth end coupled to the first upper roof chord, a first distance between the first end of the first inner chord and the third end of the first outer chord being less than a second distance between the second end of the first inner chord and the fourth end of the first outer chord;
- and
- a second wall comprising:
- a second template plate;
- a second inner chord having a fifth end coupled to the second template plate and a sixth end coupled to the second upper roof chord, wherein the first inner chord is substantially parallel to the second inner chord;
- and
- a second outer chord having a seventh end coupled to the second template plate and an eighth end coupled to the-second upper roof chord, and a third distance between the fifth end of the second inner chord and the seventh end of the second outer chord being less than a fourth distance between the sixth end of the second inner chord and the eighth end of the second outer chord.

A building structure system comprising:
- a first frame truss and a second frame truss, wherein the first frame truss and the second frame truss each comprise:
- a roof element comprising:
- a first chord having a first length and a second chord having a second length, wherein the first chord is coupled to the second cord and the first length is different from the second length;
- a first wall comprising a first inner chord and a first outer chord, the first inner chord being non-parallel to the first outer chord,
- a second wall comprising a second inner chord and a second outer chord, the second inner chord being non-parallel to the second outer chord, wherein the first inner chord is substantially parallel to the second inner chord,
