UKTFA - The UK Timber Frame Association

The UK Timber Frame Association is dedicated to providing a definitive voice for the timber frame industry. We’re committed to the ongoing promotion of timber as the ultimate sustainable building material, as well as raising awareness of the proven advantages of timber frame across all sectors of the construction industry.

With 200+ member companies, the UKTFA provides help and support for anybody involved in construction looking for a more robust and cost effective way of achieving the highest standards in energy and carbon efficient building design.

The UKTFA is recognised as the authoritative voice of the timber frame industry, providing definitive technical information, plus news and views from across the sector. We provide literature to meet the specific needs of members and the wider building industry - from architects and designers, builders, housing associations and local authorities. The UKTFA provides a professional support network to its members including initiatives such as the Quality Assurance standard and SiteSafe, both of which ensure that the highest service standards are represented throughout the entire UK timber frame industry. We’re also committed to providing robust and reliable technical guidance for our members.

The UKTFA has redesigned the quality requirements for membership of the Association, giving members the best possible credentials as the industry moves forward. The UKTFA has, in partnership with Construction Skills, developed the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Timber Frame Erectors.

The UKTFA continues to go from strength to strength defining and leading the future of the timber frame industry. Now in its 10th year, the UKTFA continues to represent the finest companies working in the timber frame industry. UKTFA membership is more than a badge of honour, it is the excellence standard by which the timber frame industry will be measured.

Why we joined the Housing Forum

The Housing Forum has long held the reputation as a key influencer in the housing debate and is known for its high quality and high impact events. For these reasons membership of the Housing Forum would give the Association immediate entry into other influential organisations and significantly raise the profile of the UKTFA and its members.
