Joining three T beams together along roof pitch

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an attic conversion and I'm replacing the timber joists with T beams. The detail I'm worried about is the join between two hips and a ridge beam. Assuming all roof pitches are 30', I'm finding the join is going to be difficult for a welder/bespoke piece.

Has anyone come across prefab units that do this already or am I making a mistake trying it in the first place?

Cheers in advance,
Z
